If you guys couldnt make it out to the airport I think I found a site that will let you sign the petition online.

Default another bump in the road

I was told that Holland Chapel church has decided to try and buy the old airport from the city of benton in order to keep us from having a drag strip! I think this place has too much money or something. But hopefully the city will keep its word and say the land is not for sale. It seems like every time we get close to having a track something screws it up. But i am also told that there is a back up plan if the city does decide to sell. And the manns will build a track somewhere in central Ar. I still hope it happens in Benton though.

You should probably put "If" in there more than "when".
