Looks like good weather and Saturday might coincide for once here in central
Ohio. I thought it would be nice to go down and get a free hot dog and do a
little shopping. Never been there myself, anyone here ever go to I69?

My wife & I went to Sporty's a couple years ago. We were going to KLUK for a
wedding anyway. It was fun to say I was there, but there really wasn't a
whole lot there. Lot's of planes in the pattern to watch. A few vending
machines and a guy running around on one of those little 2 wheel go cart
things.

Bought a couple "I flew to Sporty's" hats.

Went there in Feb, shortly after getting my Private @ LPR, Lorain Co
OH.. Expect training traffic as well as Sporty's traffic. No
biggie, tho...
"Clemont County Traffic" on CTAF...
Not much "shopping"...turns out it's a warehouse with a showroom, not
really a 'shop' as I expected...but they will bring anything out of
the warehouse for you to inspect, and the staff is pleasant and
helpful. Gotta get an "I flew to Sporty's" cap!

Enjoy your trip.

Clermont is about 3 hours flight for me. I may make the trip if I
don't feel like doing yard work.
