FREEPORT, ILLINOIS: Club #253, the
Freeport RC Modelers Club, is always
looking to expand membership by
participating in local events.
The club provided a float for the Freeport
Memorial Parade.
An example of this was a static display
with handouts at the Stephenson County
Information Center in conjunction with
flight demonstrations at the club field. The
club also provided a float for the Freeport
Memorial Parade.
By becoming visible in the community
the members hope to attract new modelers to
join the club.
Pictures and information were submitted
by Richard Potempa.

Marion, Illinois: Club #859, the Sky
Squires RC Club, puts on a different kind of
static display. Club members broiled in the
hot sun to provide the public with an
outdoor static display at the Kroger store in
Marion, Illinois. The Williamson County
Tourism Bureau invited the club and other
groups to this event.
Club members Frank Graff (L) and Bill Bruce
are setting up Bill’s U-CAN-DO.
The Sky Squires fly indoor models of all
types in a large building managed by the
Tourism Bureau. Everyone felt that the
display at the Kroger store was a publicrelations
success, and the members hope it
will become an annual event.
Club president Darrell Honey sent in the
information and photos.
