The Belleville RC Flyers held its annual swap meet recently. It was at a new location with more room for all. The temperature outside was cold, but inside the swapping and dealing kept things warm. Refreshments were available and many door prizes were given away.
The club wishes to thank the following hobby stores for their support:
- Corner Hobby
- Performance Hobbies
- Mark Twain Hobby
- Schaefer’s Hobby
Ted Ellicott supplied the photos and information. Two photos of the event were provided.
