On one of the lost pages I was asked for the date of the "Banic Boogie" It is July 16-17-18 in Greenville, PA at the Greenville Airport.
It is mostly geared towards sky divers but PPCs are welcome.

Stefan Banic, a Slovak inventor, constructed a prototype of a parachute in 1913 and tested it in Washington D.C. in front of the U.S. Patent Office and military representatives by jumping from a 41-floor building and subsequently from an airplane in 1914. His patented parachute became a standard equipment for U.S. pilots during the World War I. Stefan Banic settled in the community of Greenville, Pennsylvania.
