Big and small aircraft were on hand to start Saturday off with the Model Aviator. , Chino Valley's Ron Stoks arrived in his green Ultra light aircraft during the second annual Steve Crowe Fun Fly. Guidance Aviation sent in a helicopter with pilot Jason Martin and instructor pilot Matt Caveagh, while Greg Galpin flew over the air field in his L395.
And, oh, yes, kudos to Boy Scout Troup #7617 that raised the flag!
Changing pace from airplanes, the High Plains Agrifest had horses and more on display. Vicki Smith brought her horse Jake for the 5D Open, and Kaycee Smith rode Salley to win the PeeWee Pole Runner competiton this year with a time of 50.86 seconds.
It wasn't all horses, however. Professor Marnee Zazueta took visitors on an Aquaculture tour and showing off the fish production.
Saturday night was the annual Corn Dinner, with local politicos and Sundogs players serving the long line of people ready to eat corn. Charlie Arnold sat this year out, noting that eating over 30 ears of corn two years in a row was enough corn to last a lifetime. Well, maybe.
On a more somber note, the Chino Valley Fire District Honor Guard held a 9/11 ceremony, in memory of the events that happened on that day ten years ago. Sunday morning's Honor Guard consisted of M. Nelson, D. Buntin III, R. Zazueta, S. Dobson and J. Stewart.
