LOWER WISCONSIN RIVER HOVERGROUP HOSTS

NATIONAL HOVER-IN 2000 FOR THE HOA, Page 3!!

Dave Ruebush taking his AC out for a spin before the games began!

The public began to arrive at the boat landing early on Sunday and remained all day!

Amanda and Dave go for a spin in the 10F!! Amanda was really excited about her hovercraft ride!!!

We had various games going on......Hover Poker Run, Hover Slalom, and Guess Your Time Hovering....this is Ben coming in from one of them!

Many hovercrafters took over and got the games going.....here Mike McCullough comes in after placing the buoys for the slalom racing! Thanks Mike! This is what it takes to run a successful hoverin.......a lot of interest and a lot of volunteers who just go out and get it running for you! Thank you everyone!

Some of the winners of the games.......Dennis and Carol Alm......

Brandon and Mike Jacobson in their UH13 after a Weber survival kit was given to them!!!!!

Carl and Janet Gorsuch in their 15!

Don Searls takes off for the slalom races.......get out of the way! :-)

The tee shirt girls waiting on business!

Although Verdon's and my times were eliminated at our request, I really enjoyed the slalom challenge. Far more maneuvering than I had expected, yet I couldn't beat Verdon's time! Now we are talking about times such as 1 min. 5 sec. (Verdon)and 1 min. 24 sec. (Doug Ihrig) and Dave LaCombe with 1 min. 36 sec. (just 12 secs. behind Doug!)......nothing like 2 or 3 minute times. These guys were really moving around those buoys!

Onward to Page Four of the 2000 National Cruise!
