Wrote this story in the Spring and it ended up in the July issue of an Inland NW monthly rag called OutThereMonthly (http://www.outtheremonthly.com/). It's a great publication targeted to the outdoor recreation crowd around Spokane, WA and Coeur d'Alene, ID. Lucky for us it was in the July issue when OutThere also sponsored a one day outdoor sporting event called Spokatopia (http://www.spokatopia.com). Our club had a booth at the event where we set up two hang gliders. The PR has paid off a wee bit so far in that we've attracted some interest and definitely righted some misconceptions about our sport while chatting with Spokatopia event goers. The publication is also free and I've stockpiled around 50-60 copies to hand out to wuffos whenever I meet them while out flying.
If you have any sort of area publications - especially the free ones - it is worth getting your pen in hand (or keyboard) and scratch out a story. In writing this story the Editor has asked me to write one on winter flying as well. Hear that Mike? We've got to do some winter Inkler's flying to get photos for the story :-) OutThere also wants a story for next summer too.
