MERCER COUNTY RADIO CONTROL SOCIETY’S
50th ANNIVERSARY BANQUET
On June 11, 2011 the Mercer County Radio Control Society held a 50th anniversary banquet. The club held its first meeting on March 3, 1961 and by June 23, 1961 was officially chartered by the AMA as charter number 422. Throughout the 60’s the club lost many flying sites and on June 13, 1969 obtained a permanent flying site in the Assunpink Wildlife Manage Area. The flying site was renamed Warren Kruse Field in Assunpink to honor Warren for his dedicated service to MCRCS. A 50 year history booklet was given to each of the 80 members and guests that attended the banquet.
