Poker Run 2019

Winds 230@25 Gusting 35!
The Antelope Valley Poker Run was a huge success April 14 2019!  Members Brenda Corby, Scott Corby, Donna Webster, Fred Webster, Gabriel Roca, Daniel Lavato and Dea Payette.  Dea won several prizes for having some of the best poker hands!  No one from the BFC placed in the spot landing contest, but they all had fun trying with the fantastic winds!
