returns to the Camrose area this weekend! It’s a great way to explore scenic Camrose County on a self-guided driving excursion. One of the stops you won’t want to miss is
Alberta’s Littlest Airport,
which is located close to Bawlf. The Blackwell family, well known for recreational flying, some thirty-eight years ago expanded their airfield (originally solely used for full-sized private aircraft) into a hotspot for flying radio controlled airplanes and helicopters of all shapes and sizes. On weekends, R.C. pilots, from far and wide, converge on Alberta’s Littlest Airport where they test and perfect their skills, “talk shop” and mingle with visitors and spectators. An annual Fun-Fly, hosted each July, attracts dozens of pilots each year, each interested in aviation on a smaller scale. One such pilot, Doug Currie, from Beaumont, has never missed this weekend activity in any of the nearly four decades that the Fun-Fly has been operational. This weekend, weather permitting, pilots from three western provinces are likely to be displaying their impressive skills for all to enjoy. The action will take place from 9 am until dark Saturday and Sunday during Prairie Fun Days.
