This was the last competitor of the Team Challenge, 2006. The first place team was Ollie's team, The Mother Ship and the Drones . The trophies this year was made by his son. Very nice work.
John and Dale Stokes brought all their birds of prey for a show just before dusk. Then the food was ready. There was about 4-5 deep fried turkeys, so many pans of fresh fried fish I couldnt count all of them, hushpuppies, slaw, baked beans, soup, all the trimmings, and so many desserts that there were alot left over. There was some care-packages taken home there was so much delicious food left over. I like leftovers myself. The awards ceremony was afterwards.
Then the Party started. "Just Reeves Band" started rockin' Henson's Gap ! Mary, Judy, Katie, and a couple more ladies were there to dance with the guys in attendance. I think I'm a little sore today, haha. The band played until after 11pm. They rocked the house! or the pavillion & the bon-fire anyway. There was also some great fireworks.
The Tenneessee Tree Toppers club is some of the best people it has been my honor to fly, and hang out with. If you missed today, you missed some good flying, good food, and music. They have already set the week for next years competition. Cant wait !
