Swoop Week Aug 21st



See photo gallery link on the right

The weather is nice again today with clear skies and calm winds. Competitors are training at the pond jumping out of the twin otter and king air. The venue is coming right along with our staff working to get everything ready before this weekend. Currently we have two large packing tents, a hay bail barrier, spectator bleachers, judging building and porta jons. We have even made a custom canopy dryer so competitors who get wet can get dry between rounds (see pic in gallery). Most of the competitors are practicing freestyle with only a single gate in the water at this time. Full courses do not go up until Friday and Saturday.
