The Fiesta begins Thursday, October 5 and extends until Tuesday October 10, 2006. This provides up to 6 days and 5 nights at the venue. Saturday night is the actual OCTOBER HARVEST FULL MOON--the biggest moon of the year---and therefore should be spectacular. Friday night will actually be the best night to "Fly the Full Moon" for reasons Bajabrent will explain later. Recognzing that Monday October 9, is the Columbus Day holiday, the main days of the event will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday will be the spillover day, in the event we get skunked on conditions another day.

SPECIAL NOTE: All proceeds from this event are being used to cleanup the flying area. Many of you who have flown here in the last few years have witnessed the decay of the facilities as well as the indiscriminate dumping of debris by both Gringos and Mexicans. Bajabrent will be undertaking a significant effort to clean and restore the site with the assistance of local Mexican workers. Please support this activity to enhance the beauty and utility of this beautiful facility.
