I will be taking my family down to Muncie in the middle of July. I am a sports flyer that is interested in learning pattern but I am going as a spectator. If you have been there can you tell me:

1) Is this event spectator friendly?
2) Is it a good place to bring family that doesn't fly but likes to watch?
3) should I bring a plane to fly? (non competition)
4) Are there places or times where non competitors can fly?
5) any recommendations on where to stay?
6) are there other things to do in or around Muncie?
7) Is one week to long in the area for non competitors?

Thanks

Charlie
