On behalf of the Mid-Atlantic Soaring Association, you are invited to compete or visit R4N's fall contest October 6 - 13 from it's Fairfield, PA airport (W97). Details are here: http://www.ssa.org/Contests?cid=2423.
Fairfield is a beautiful soaring site nestled not far from Amish farmland and the Alleghenies. Its usually a thermal event but a timely cold front bringing NW winds can spice it up to include ridge and wave. And, you should see this area when the leaves start turning; it is gorgeous!

R4N is a great way to end the soaring season and I Hope to see you there!
