HuckFest Update! On Like Donkey Kong!

**madmax** · 06-28-2007, 08:43 PM

Reporting live from the 2007 St. Louis Huckfest - the pre-event has begun and from the crowd we already have on hand, it looks like this is gonna be a GREAT weekend! The day started out with Channel 5 (NBC) interviewing our friends Mark Trent and Jason Cohen, and then the flying began. Pilots began arriving early in the morning, and more trickled in throughout the day. The field is in absolutely killer shape, and along with the well groomed grass runway, the facilities at The River City Flyers are the perfect venue for HuckFesting! After a ton of flying, we headed over to the Anheuser-Busch plant for a tour of the brew makin' process - pretty sweet! After heading back to the field, we found a bunch of friends who showed up including Jim Flannigan, John Light, Jason Danhakl, Wizard, Zang, and a whole bunch more. Highlights of the day - warm weather, Elie crashing his Edge 5 times in one flight and pulled it off, and being a part of the beginning of this event.

Big props to everyone who has pulled this puppy together, we'll keep you updated through the weekend!

In the meantime, enjoy the photo flood from Thursday.

Thats awesome that you get the news in there to interview and get out the publicity. In todays world that could help alot.

Just one question. Does a tour of the Busch plant include any free samples?

Hope you all have a great time out there. Looks like it's going to be a great one.

It typically does include free small samples
