Fire Circles have ever been the central gathering point for groups, providing warmth, friendship and camaraderie among individuals. Sugar Valley Airport was the perfect location for creating what has become one of the first of dozens of fire circles located at small airports around the country.
The Fire Circle is an actual fire ring in the center of a 40' square brick patio that can be used by recreational flyers, scouts, churches, civic organizations and other groups during on-field camping, family or other activities. It is strategically located on the grounds of the airport, overlooking the lake and the setting sun.
The Friendship Fire Circle, sponsored by the former Honda Flying Club (now Piedmont Aero Club) and Sugar Valley Airport, was dedicated on April 21, 2012.
