Event Coverage – RC Fest, Tolono Illinois 2013

The BigSquidRC Bash crew had the pleasure of attending the 2013 RC Fest in Tolono Illinois over the weekend. RC Fest is a big charity bash held to raise money and awareness for blood donation. A young man named Adam Munds and his family work for months prepping for RC Fest and this year all their hard work really paid off with 70 entries from 44 competitors. RC Fest raised over $1300 with many people giving blood at the event. Our BSRC Bash Crew had a fantastic time and can’t wait for RC Fest to roll around again next year.
