Default Rivercity or Orchard Farms ?

So where is the 09 huckfest, Rivercity or Orchard farms ? Rivercity is closer to STL but Orchard farms was the host of 08 huckfest b/c of flooding. Where are the powers that be gonna huck it this year ? River city is closer to me so I vote for another fantastic rivercity huckfest !!!! . Then again I have no say whats ur opinion ( keep it kind ).

I think Rockford will pull more northern people while STL will pull more people from a little more south.

Then you got people like Matt that go to all of them...the lucky SOB...LOL

heehee.....I'm going to do EVERYTHING in my power to make it to both HF's...
I just started to realize what it will take to do so though!
Last year I swore that I would try out for the XFC, And I really want to stand by that
Not that i would even have a CHANCE at getting a spot, but at least I can say I tried!
either way, I wont miss that event, even If I dont get to compete.
I had planne on going to rockford also, but even if i DO get the money together for the trip,
my wife will be ROYALLY PISSED if i went to 3 fly-ins in the same month...............
My honey-do list would take over my intire summer!

Man up and quit yer wining, jeeeeeeeez, throw her an extra couple shots and she'll be fine, My wife drove my stuff all the way to cali for a flyin and even picked me up from the airport and delivered me to the flyin. I had to give her a little extra, but it was well worth it
