I have pasted an email I received recently about a fly-in near Effingham, IL. I went to a pancake breakfast in July at this strip, and I was very impressed with the quality of his grass strip, as well as with the amazing turnout. There were probably over 40 airplanes there over the period of a few hours. I would encourage anyone within a reasonable distance to consider coming if the weather is nice, because you will likely be glad you did.
I hope to see a friendly shortwing there!
