Labor Day barbecue at Skydive SpacelandLabor Day Weekend Report

Over a somewhat weather-challenged Labor Day weekend, Deguello 17 still did 23 jumps and we had a fantastic free BBQ! Thanks to Steve and Skydive Spaceland for the great BBQ on  Monday. We had over 120 pounds of chicken and lots of sausage links and potato salad (ooof...). Rich Williams and Mike Hooper cooked it UP! This was our thanks to all the people who were here at Spaceland on their Labor Day. Staff, students, experienced jumpers, teams... All were welcomed and walked away with full bellies. 


Load Organizing Every Month

Starting this weekend, there will be load organizing offered the second weekend of every month throughout the year. Grab your gear, bring some friends, and come prepared to have fun!

Leah Blache has committed every month to bring you some exciting dives such as smaller learning dives, hoop dives and maybe some special mystery dive competitions. Fun stuff... So if you have just graduated our training program or just don't have anyone to jump with, then come on out the second weekend of every month and jump with Leah and the gang. All skill levels are welcome and she will create the dives based on the skill levels of the jumpers. 

Everyone should come on out starting this weekend! Tell all your friends (forward this email) and let's bring life to the organizing and fun jumping here at Spaceland!
