The indoor nationals are in Johnson City, TN at the end of May. Mapquest says it is a just over 4 hour drive for you. Lots of great stuff to see - and, if you get some gliders built, you get to fly, too. I've got a feeling there is a trophy or certificate in the box somewhere that just might end up in your son's hands.
