Antigua 0 #76 June 7, 2010 It's now Monday morning and the DZ is completely quiet after 6 great days. As I look around, I cannot help but smile and think of all the fun we had through the course of the week. To everyone that attended, thank you so much for coming and supporting us! It was an absolute pleasure and we look forward to CarolinaFest 2011! To our AMAZING LO's, Vendors, pilots, packers, staff and volunteers - thank you for your hard work and time. Without your awesome attitudes and willingness to please, this event would not have been the success that it was. The event was blessed with good weather as we had 5 great days of jumping until Sunday's winds grounded everyone. By The Numbers: We had a new SC Headdown State Record established on Saturday (14-way) and an unofficial record of 19 set. Pepe Rodriguez initiated 52 new brothers and bumpie brothers into the brotherhood. 3 different bands played through the week and all were awesome! 9 Kegs of Yuengling were consumed. 50 Dozen eggs were used by Dale's Dive In for breakfasts in the morning 12 Twin Otter loads were sponsored which equated to 264 free jumps given away The Load Sponsors were: Dilworth Billiards Doggy Styles Mobile Grooming The Olde English District (2 Loads) Skydive Carolina Freefall Photo Paraclete XP (2 Loads) Sunshine Recycling Sunshine Auto and Salvage Sunshine Steel Rampart Aviation 18 Load Organizers were on hand for the week and they were: Brian Buckland (Lead Video) Amy Chmelecki Melanie Curtis Turbo XP: Ben Worrall, Andrew Happick, Joey Coffineau, Doug Barron Joey Freeman Jan Lane Justin Shorb Simon 'Bones' Palacio Pepe Rodriguez Kirk Verner Chris Wagner Derek VanBoeschoten Team Scarecrow: Dave Colucci, Rob Antalocy, Tuck Pendelton 2,878 jumps were made for the week despite being completely weathered out on Sunday. 175 total loads were flown. 20 Balloon Jumps made 36 Helicopter jumps made (12 loads) 17 Vendors were on Vendor Row The Vendors were: Aerodyne Blue Skies Magazine Cookie Composites Cypres EG SKY Hypoxic Icarus LiquidSky Mirage Systems Performance Designs PittZ Sky Systems Sun Path Tony Suit UPT Vector VitaminWater 3,360 bottles (140 Cases) of VitaminWater was consumed for the week. Thank you VitaminWater for taking such amazing care of our jumpers! Please support this company - they were an integral part of this event's success by keeping everyone hydrated and offering complimentary drinks each and every day! The best stat of all.......... 0 Injuries At the end of the day, it's always about the people.......A HUGE thank you to everyone who was involved and who came out! We look forward to doing it again in 2011!
