Indoor Electric Flying Event - AKRON OHIO in MARCH
I'm excited to announce the NE Ohio Electric Festival in Akron!
(this was formerly called the "Holiday Electric Fly" in Geneva OH)
You can call it "NEF" for short. It's only 2 months away - March 21-23.
We're very excited about the venue, the location, and the prospect of continuing what we started in a much bigger metropolitan area.
Here's a list of some key things to note:
Akron is about an hour closer for all of our friends to the south
Akron is very easy to get to, and isn't in the snow belt
The venue is on the University of Akron campus - college towns are exciting and there are a lot of restaurants & hotels around. Downtown Akron is minutes away.
The venue's GIGANTIC main flying area is just as big as the previous one (approx. 300 x 250 feet)
We'll still have separate flying areas for 3D, Ultra-Micro, Helis, and the F3P contest area.
The venue offers a few improvements that our pilots will appreciate:
--no wind currents from HVAC
--higher ceiling with painted ceiling beams (no "strobe" effect)
--beautiful smooth carpet everywhere
We'll have a good collection of our usual fun flying activities and several contests happening at the event, tons of prizes, a very special main raffle prize, and there will be a F3P competition going on too. The event date is two weeks before the Weak Signals' Toledo show.
This is an AMA-sanctioned event. MARCS is the host AMA club and a portion of the proceeds of this event will benefit cancer research. We have some big announcements and some special things planned, so stay tuned. For now, I wanted to share some pictures (Please check the attachments). Our website is: OhioElectricFly.com
Check the website for the event flyer, event info, pilot registration, vendor registration, rules, and so on.
We also have a Facebook page, you can find that under "Ohio Electric Festival". If you "Like" that page you will automatically receive updates as they're posted.

January Flying Dates
I would also like to mention, we have two flying dates scheduled at this venue in JANUARY!
Next Friday Jan 17th - 8-10pm
and Friday Jan 31st - 8-10pm.
This is just a fun fly for indoor electrics - $15 per pilot, AMA card required.
For those of you who live within a reasonable drive to Akron, come and enjoy a fun evening of indoor flying and try this place out.
I guarantee, it will be much more crowded at our main event in March!
