Hello everyone:
We are now three weeks away from the 7th
Annual Napa Fly In October 14, 15, and 16. HPAT will be conducting
flight training and ground school and we have a whole weekends' worth of
activities for you! See the attached. Friday night,Tomas and Debbie Holbrook are flying
in the Basque dinner for an outdoor meal at the Nut Tree airport.
Saturday after the ground school there will be a tour of the Suisun
Valley Farm Stands and Wineries. Farm Days Open House is happening all
weekend, so we can visit some special venues not normally open. Saturday
evening we are pleased to announce that Peter Granoff will be joining
us for a special wine and cheese tasting before dinner at the Gainzas'.
Peter is an owner/partner of both the Oxbow Wine Merchant
(www.oxbowine.com), in the famous Oxbow Market in Napa, and the Ferry
Plaza Wine Merchant, in the Ferry Building Market in San Francisco
(www.fpwm.com). His congenial expertise will provide added enjoyment as
we taste three local handmade cheeses paired with three different types
of wine. Following the tasting, Peter will be available for questions as
we enjoy a harvest dinner centered around some delicious natural
Callicrate beef, flown in for us by Mike Callicrate of Colorado Springs
(ranchfoodsdirect.com).
If you have not scheduled your flight
time, please contact Glenda McKinney at HPAT, and please note our
arrangement with the Marriott Courtyard for $89 per night including a
breakfast buffet expires if you have not made a reservation by THIS
FRIDAY, September 30! You can get a room, but not at that price after this Friday...The identifier for the Vacaville Nut Tree airport
is KVCB. If you need the complete fly in information, an updated copy is attached. For further questions, please contact
either Sandy Gainza at sgza@hotmail.com or Glenda McKinney at
glenda@hp-at.com. Thanks!
Craig and I look forward to seeing you for this special weekend.
