Upcoming in the Mid-West

From: Greg Simon
Can you post these contest flyers on the Sen web site.
Thank you for all your help and support.
One item to note:  For flyers coming to the Nats this summer, I was
able to resurrect the Hoosier cup and we are approved for the Sunday
before the Nats week.  A little extra bonus for FAI flyers that come to Muncie
on Saturday.

Regards,
Greg
