Default Central California 3D Festival, IV

I would like to announce, and invite 3D Modelers to attend and participate at the
Central California 3D Festival, IV
This event is a hoot for pilots and spectators....
March 13, 14 & 15 at the Bear Mountain Flyers premeir flying facility centrally located in Bakersfield California....
If you are from Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, NorCal or SoCal... this event is within easy driving distance!!!

This will be our 4th year, first year at this new incredible venue...
With each paid ticket you will get a Culinary Experiance of a life time enjoying the
incredible Chef'ery of "Lenny".... many can testify to his exceptional skilz with a BBQ...
and there is the incredible side dishes prepared by his lovely wife and family...
The meal is worth the price of admission alone!!!! (Each additional Diner, $10.00)

So if you like to Huck your ride inches off the ground...or watch other crazy people risk their models (and Pride he he he he )... this is an event you can't miss!!!!

With so much talk about why their is no "Huckfest" out west this should be the answer to your prayers. This is the 4th year for the event, and it grows every year. The bear mountian facility is absolutly beautiful and with NOTHING to hit as far as the eye can see it makes for a great venue for the 3-D pilots as well as spectators. We will have a ass kicking sound system and food will be made availible most all day on friday and sat. If you have never attended our Fresno 3-D Fest then it's high time you come and pay us a visit on March 13, 14 15 2009.

I think i am going to put together a new plane to throw in the mix for this event. Like my Aviation Models 37.5 yak. I cant stand that this is still a month out. I need this though. I have been itching to go to a big 3d type event for what seems like forever. I got denied the time to go to the first vegas huckfest. I'm excited to meet some new faces. And old ones too. Does anyone have a picture or video of the flying site that they could post?
