67november Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Jimmy, It would be great to have your family members there as all are welcome, let your friend Dan know about this also as the more are merrier. one of last years Bemidji attendees will post a copy of the fly-in at the airport there. As our event continues year to year we keep growing and the area businesses keep providing better and broader services to the attendees. I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Hope to see some friends north of the 49th there this year. 67november Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
