    SubFest 2015, Manitowoc, WI

    The first annual SubFest at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum will be held on July 10-12, 2015. It is a weekend of all things “submarine” including the opening of new USS Cobia exhibits, visits from sub veterans, special tours on the boat, a submarine film festival at the local civic center, a submarine art exhibit at the local art museum, outdoor activities throughout the days and fireworks on Saturday night.

    The museum would LOVE for the SubCommittee to be part of it. All R/C submariners are invited to the event. SubRon6 member Jim Smith has built a 20’ X 40’ X 2 ½’ deep pond at the museum for sub running on Saturday and Sunday. You can make a fun weekend of it and help promote the hobby.

    If you are interested in attending, the museum would love to know by June 24th so they can get a tentative head count. If you have any questions you can email Jim at jvsmith@lakefield.net. Our you can contact the museum directly. Ask for Wendy Lutzke, Director of Education,
    Wisconsin Maritime Museum.

      That is so cool! Oh, if only..........
      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

        Have the dates marked on my calendar, and requested the time off from work. I plan to be there with at least two of my subs.

            Went to the SUBFEST!!!

            Great time at the SubFest! Put it on your calendar for next year. The pond was terrific for showing off and explaining how r/c subs work. There were a number of individuals answering questions and they will have to identify themselves as I forgot to write them down-sorry.

                  Two of the SubRon 6 members were Bob Gesking and Jim Smith. SubRon 6 member Pat Habel spent a lot of time aboard COBIA, but brought his Thunder Tigre NEPTUNE. Jim brought his U-boat. Bob brought his HAMMERHEAD (a Manitowoc boat), the BARB (Thor Design PERMIT) and the Trumpeter SEAWOLF.

                  Picture shows Jim on the left and Bob on the right.
