Here is the flyer for the Cajun Nats 2013, Oct 19th & 20th in Crowley, LA

Thanks Monte. Looking forward to it. Jon Martin also mentioned he is hosting everyone for dinner as usual. I'm not sure about the details but that's always really nice.

He is both Friday night and Saturday night. We have been talking about a chicken spaghetti on Friday night, and a Shrimp etoufe' with fried catfish on Saturday night. Still firming all this up, but whatever it turns out to be, it's gonna be gooooooooood!

The trophies have been ordered, the field is in excellent shape, and the meals have been planned. Chicken Spaghetti for Friday night, and the shrimp stew with a piece of fried catfish for Saturday night. We almost have the final arrangements made for a band for the friday night banquet. It looks like we will have a big sportsman class this year as we have an additional 4 local members who have been practicing and plan on entering. The Friday night and Saturday night social events are as big a part of our contest as the flying, so plan on bringing the family and enjoying some true Cajun hospitality. The RIce Festival is the same weekend, with parades, amusements, bands, and food, so there is plenty for the family to do while you compete. Easy to get to and just in town from the flying field. Be sure to make your hotel reservations early. Field will be reday to go Thursday evening and open for practice Friday Oct 18th.

While at the Nationals in Muncie, I had the pleasure of speaking to several of the guy's from District 3 that attended the Cajun Nats last year. They said they would be coming back this year in force. Us D6 pilots need to step up, those D3 guy's took home a bunch of trophies last year. As the Cajun Nats is usually one of the larger contest in pilot entries in the area, the competition is intense, and you diffinently get to fly against some of the top competitors in the South.

Come pass a good time with us. Hope to see you there.

Just confirmed, we have a full fledge band for the Saturday night banquet. Gonna be a great event this year. A whole lot of flying, and a little bit of rock n roll.

Come pass a good time. Lasse las bon ton roule.

FAI will fly P-15 at the Cajun Nats this year.

V-Quick, 15-20 from D3, that will be awsome. You guys tore us up last year taking home a lot of trophies. We plan to give you guys a run for your money this time.

Doug, come on down, We'll find hard hats if needed. You picked the best 2 contest to attend if your only making 2 per year.

Man, the weather is beautiful here this week. Crystal clear skies, very light winds, cool nights and warm days. If it gets any better than this, I couldn't stand it. Hope it hold out thru the contest just like this.

As always, Friday and Saturday food and fun at my house!
Looks like 50 or more pilots for this year!
I'm going to up the fun for everyone Saturday night with my world famous margaritas!
PLEASE bring your wife/girlfriend as this is a lady friendly contest
as I always say..... "This is a two day party with a little pattern flying mixed in"!

Cajun Nats is a family event. We now have a flushing toilet and running water lavatory for the ladies in our air conditioned club house. So plan on bringing the family. Sorry guys for the convience of the ladies men will have to use the port-o lets. Lots of parades and events at the Rice Festival going on at the same time.

Latest breaking news; We will have a free pancake breakfast for the pilots Saturday morning from 8:00 to 9:00 am, at the flying site.

Unfortunately we will not make it this year. I crashed my Integral .

I have a new one in the works though!
