Default Nephi wrap-up

I'd like to add my HURRAH!! also.

Everywhere in town I met locals that knew, and supported, this soaring event. The mayor and county commissioner gave away t-shirts and a goodie bag. The county fair was in town which made for a busy town (at least by Nephi) standards. They advertised our event in the newspaper, the fair brochure and (believe it or else) the electric bill. 500 people showed up on the Saturday open house! The local professional photographer climbed the 11,000 ft peak to take some spectacular pictures of our flying by.

I believe that I got gold altitude on the first day and gold distance on the last day but will have to wait for the badge dude to confirm.

MANY, many, many thanks to Bruno and everyone else for all their hard work and making this happen!
