On the third weekend of September, canard aircraft from around the US (and the world!) fly into Rough River State Park airport in Kentucky (2I3) for a weekendlong festival of everything Canard. A very loosely organized event, there aren't seminars or vendors it's lovers of canard aircraft meeting, talking about and flying their aircraft.

2023 was the 27th annual Rough River flyin, and I...well, flew in! This video documents my trip, along with some of the things I saw while I was there.
