The City Of Tavares built a lovely linear park along the north shore of Lake Dora in the middle of the Florida peninsula. The park's theme is seaplanes with facilities to match.<P>Each fall and spring the City hosts a seaplane splash-in featuring flying contests. Given the proximity to Halloween today's event involved pumpkin bombing, spot landings and takeoff contests.<P>On a beautiful sunny 77F day with light winds, more than 20 seaplanes flew in, about half of them SeaReys. Thirteen, including five SeaReys, participated in the contests. The air boss did a fine job getting us off the water in an organized manner and formed into a large circular pattern. Each of us made three passes to drop a pumpkin on a large buoy.<P>Imagine my surprise to learn belatedly after 28 years of being with wife Suzanne that she is a superb pumpkin bomber. She and The Playful Pelican won first prize!<P>In addition to a plaque, the City gave us a $50 gift certificate to Sportys. Combined with the $20 voucher for any local restaurant given to us for just flying in, we had a financially good day too!<P>Anyone know how the other SeaReys did?<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

Pretty work Bruce and Suzanne. That is a great flying event and Seareys dominate the contests. Tavares does a great job to accomadate so many aircraft and made it much easier by clearing a long stretch of beachfront to nose into and park. Where else can you drop in and get a free lunch and t-shirt for showing up.

The SeaRey's took all the first place prizes. Don Laughlin won the spot landing and yours <br />truly won the takeoff competition. Great job Bruce!

Thanks, same to you Daniel. Overall a good day for SeaReys with 38% of the entrants and 100% of the wins! Now which is it, the best airplane or the best flyers?<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->
