The Boise Area Radio Kontrol Society (BARKS) #236 is celebrating their club's 50th Anniversary! This AMA Silver Leader club is located in Kuna, Idaho, a few miles south of Boise. Established in 1971 and incorporated in 1973, the club has come a long way from a small sod farm to their now 40-acre facility with a paved runway and modern flying amenities.
Club members have been involved in and/or hosted many events; Scale, IMAC, Pattern Aerobatics, Control Line, Pylon Racing, Swap Meets, STEM Programs, Hobby Shows and many other community events. They're celebrating the 50th Anniversary with a special flying event at their club called the "September Fest Flybration", September 16th-17th. Here's to another 50 years!
