cosmobuddy 0 #1 July 11, 2006 I'm posting this to clarify some mis-information. I have been getting reports that a rumor is spreading that this year is the last year that we will be hosting a Boogie at Lost Prairie and that the drop zone is closing. Let me assure you that these rumors are FALSE! We intend to continue far into the future. One of the basic ideas when this airport/skydiver community was developed in the early 1980s was that there would always be a place for jumpers to jump. We still hold that goal very high. From what I can guess, the rumors were started because one of my neighbors who has property next to the airport is selling his land. His land has nothing to do with the drop zone and any sales will not affect any drop zone/airport activities. I think that someone saw a 'for sale' sign and assumed that it was on airport property. Not. So, if you hear someone spreading the rumor, please help and set them straight. See you at the 39th Annual Boogie (and beyond), Fred DZOwww.SkydiveLostPrairie.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TallGuy 0 #4 July 11, 2006 Thanks for the clarification Fred. I had only heard there might be some limitations as to where we would be landing. But I'm glad to know it will be business as usual.

I can neither confirm nor deny the rumor that the damn canadians would be missed if they were not at the Lost Prairie Boogie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TallGuy 0 #8 July 12, 2006 QuoteThere are beer thieving boobies at lost prairie? Tall Guy - why was I not informed of this. Oh you can pretty much count on boobies. I'm even aware of a pair that drive. And there are beer thieves. They're piece of shit locals who are either to young and/or useless to buy their own. But to the best of my knowledge there are in fact no beer thieving boobies. Some of the Canadians would like you to believe they will steal your beer. But they are really just attention starved (too much time cooped up in their igloos) and they want to give you a reason to come visit. QuoteCan't wait! I don't know why. Haven't you heard?

"The weather is terrible, the skydives suck, the beer is warm, and there are too many damn Canadians" There should be a warning on the website - some kind of disclaimer before you purchace a $300,000 plane ticket - I feel like I have been deceived, and I have a feeling it was the Canadians.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
