This is a great opportunity to discover a little gem in upstate NY, my hometown - Saratoga Springs!

The Northeast Pilots Group cordially invites you and your guests to join us for the annual Saratoga Springs Chowderfest! This exciting event will be taking place on Saturday, February 11th from 11am - 4pm and we would be delighted to have you join us as we celebrate the delicious world of chowder.

The Saratoga County Airport (5B2) will be the designated landing spot for all participating pilots. Plenty of parking is available across from the maintenance hangar. You'll see two large hangars close together on the ramp and the maintenance hangar is on the right. Since I live in town, I can provide a shuttle service to the venue for some pilots. In your RSVP, let me know your tail number, cell number, ETA, and the number in your party and I'll do my best to accommodate you. There is also Uber and Lyft available for the 15 minute drive into town. Once you're in town, you will have the opportunity to sample and judge some of the finest chowders in the area.

In addition to the chowder tastings, there will also be a variety of other activities and attractions for you to enjoy, including live music, games, and local vendors. Much of the event takes place outdoors. We promise you will have a great time and an unforgettable experience!
