Our next stop was the Shooting Star Saloon, operating at this site since 1879.

The history here was palpable, and the food was pretty good!

There is a lot going on inside, including dollar bills stapled to the ceiling and Buck, the largest measured St.Bernard in Guinness Book of World Records.

We filled the place up, along with the patio in back, and it seemed like everyone had a good time.

Our next stop was New World Distillery, where we learned a lot of details about the process of making spirits.

There were a number of experts on chemistry and distillation in our group, so once again the discussions were very interesting.

On the way back we stopped at a famous local ice cream manufacturer.

We learned that the Farr Better ice cream company was well named

Dinner was at the Hearth restaurant, where they specialize in unique oils and vinegars.

With the upstairs location and cozy surroundings it had a sort of "speakeasy" feel that fit well in Ogden's 24th street enterainment district.

The tours were very interesting, and we got to try doing repairs on an A10 rudder as well as seeing their impressive manufacturing and production facilities.

We also saw how they make our spinners and backplates, along with a number of other products.

Unfortunately the facility was classified so no pictures were possible.

The picture above and to the right shows the KIHOMAC team who put all this together.

They also printed a Cardinal on their 3D printer, not a small project! This was given away as a door prize, won by Bill and Cindy Woods.

Doug has an interesting hobby: axe throwing. In fact he built a purpose-built building in his back yard.

He trained several members in the basic steps and let us all have a toss.

Several members showed their skills and several cycled through on a 'winner stays' basis.

It was easier to do, harder to do well, and more fun than most of us expected!

New sponsor Best Tugs brought a few examples of their products out for us to play with.

They worked extremely well, leading to more than one happy CFO member customer.

Our airport walk-around went well thanks to the official security supervision by the host FBO, CB Skyshare.

During this walkaround we found a cracked spinner, a nav antenna about to fall off and a loose nav light tell-tale. All good to find!

The event moved inside the hangar for a deeper look at both an FG and an RG.

As usual there was plenty to talk about

Dinner was at the Gray Cliff Lodge, an historic building part way up Ogden valley.

We had a good crowd for this dinner.
