It was another hot hot day here in Uvalde. Some pilots flew the course hard and other tested a few areas out, but by and large it was a rest and prep day for most. Over 550 people came to a dinner hosted by the Uvalde Fire Department. Lots of cowboy hats, good beer, some fine dinner and good live country music to top it all off.
