Had to do some searching to find info. Looks like it will be May 15-17, 2009, at Falls of Rough, KY (Rough River Park). I haven't heard anything or seen any flyers yet but I got this from this website:

Make sure you take rain gear and a pair of cheap rubber boots. I went several years in a row and definitely needed the boots.
Practice your cross wind landing and take offs, sort of windy there most of the time.

Last year, a good sun screen is what I should have brought. My wife and I both got a pretty good sunburn (too much sun too early in the year for us northerners). But yes: there was a pretty strong crosswind also.

I attended for the 1st time in 2008, and plan on returning this year (2009). Here is a thread that I started which contains many warbird pictures at the 2008 Mint Julep event:

I will be bringing my Hangar 9 B-25B/ Doolittle Raider, and my electric powered Top Flite Mustang ARF SHOO SHOO BABY, and my Top Flite Corsair. My wife and I will be camping at the park campground, which I must say is probably the nicest campground I have ever stayed at.

Here is a link to the Kentucky State Parks, which appears to provide more info then the sponsoring club's website does:

Be sure to click on the "May/Ju" tab. Also notice: the page contains links to driving directions, maps, and camping reservations.
