Much. Fun!</span></h2> <p>Home-made chili, hot dogs, muffins, cake, coffee and water. Experimental planes, kit planes, Cessna, Piper, Bonanza. Antique trucks, jeep, cars.  People, pets, and kids. And balloons!</p> <p>There will be fewer pilots in the sky once winter arrives in South Central Idaho, so we made the most of our spectacular fall weather and shared the day with local enthusiasts, staff, friends, family, board members and pilots.</p> <p>A special thanks go the following people:</p> <p>The Buhl Airport Board.</p> <p>Sherry Hoem applied for and received a community grant from Thrivant Financial and used it to open up the gathering to Buhl residents. She worked tirelessly organizing the contestants, the food, the volunteers, and printing and distributing the flyers. She didn't sit still long enough for us to take her picture.</p> <p>Kathy Hodulik brought her faithful shadow, Buster (Left).  Kathy made the signs and was on hand to answer questions, help with food, direct visitors, and keep the balloons corralled. Craig Jones (Right)  worked on almost every plane on display and helped shine them up.</p> <p><img alt="" height="330" src="/sites/default/files/imce/u4/IMG_7444.JPG" width="441" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Cindy Meyer (below--left) visits with her husband, Tim, and her brother Cory Santos.</p> <p>Cindy's venison chili won her a half-hour introductory flight with Rick Robinette.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/u4/Cindy%20Meyer%20and%20Bucky%20Whittier.JPG" style="width: 400px; height: 400px;" /></p> <p>Bucky and Bev Whittier's (above right) beef chili won them a flight over Shoshone Falls with Niel Ring.</p> <p> </p> <p>Lisa from Wells Propane standing next to Rick Robinette (below). Rick designed the layout of the static displays, and then moved every plane himself because, deep down, he's an artist and the world is his canvas.</p> <p><img alt="Lisa, a guest, and Rick Robinette Owner of Foothills Aviation LLC" src="/sites/default/files/imce/u4/Lisa%20and%20Rick.JPG" style="width: 400px; height: 400px;" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Niel Ring, Chairman of the Buhl Airport Boared, (below-center), made sure the porta-potties were delivered and the crowds were entertained.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/imce/u4/Niel%20Ring.JPG" style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></p> <p>Tim Moore                     Niel Ring                           Andrew Brachman-Future Pilot</p> <p>Phil Smith, with the amazing chili from a bag, and Foothills Aviation LLC staff, Gilberto Rizo, Arlene Armstrong, Corbyn Hudson and Ginger Jones were too camera shy to pose for a photo, but they helped shine up the planes, set up chairs and tables, get the word out, furnished dessert, and answered questions.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/buhl" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Buhl</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/airport" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">airport</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/open-house" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Open House</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/foothills-aviation-llc" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Foothills Aviation LLC</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/robinette" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Robinette</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/ring" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Ring</a></div></div></div> Tue, 19 Sep 2017 23:03:19 +0000 foothills 116 at https://www.foothillsaviationllc.com Buhl Airport Open House and Chili Cook-Off https://www.foothillsaviationllc.com/blog/buhl-airport-open-house-and-chili-cook <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="og:image rdfs:seeAlso" resource="https://www.foothillsaviationllc.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/image-uploads/Phil%20Smith%20Dragonfly.jpg?itok=ugdTiPNu"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://www.foothillsaviationllc.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/image-uploads/Phil%20Smith%20Dragonfly.jpg?itok=ugdTiPNu" width="480" height="320" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div class="_5pbx userContent" data-ft="{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}" id="js_ggd"> <h2 class="rtecenter"><span style="font-size:26px;"><strong><span style="color:#0000CD;">Buhl Airport Open House and Chili Cook-Off</span></strong> </span></h2> <p class="rtecenter"><span style="font-size:22px;"><span style="color:#006400;">Saturday, September 16th, from 11 A.M. to 2 P.M.</span></span></p> <p class="rtecenter"><span style="font-size:22px;">First Prize is a flight over Shoshone Falls.
