June 24, 2023
Join us for FamilyFest*, our annual celebration of family and fun, on Saturday, June 24, from 10 am until 3 pm.
We will have helicopter rides from 12:30 until 3:00 on a first come, first served basis. Visitors must be here and checked in by 2:45 pm to guarantee a flight.
Of special interest will be a presentation featuring Torque, “The Dog with The Most Flights in a Huey Helicopter.” There will be a table in our gallery, demonstrations of Torque’s many skills, and book reading of the newly-published children’s book, Torque – The Dog Who Wanted To Fly, which will be for sale along with adorable stuffed Torques. The Museum will recognize her achievements with an award during this special talk in our theater at noon.
There will also be a classic car and motorcycle show that offers a Fan Favorite competition featuring 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. The competition costs $20.00 per vehicle in advance ($25.00 day of show, June 24). Voting for cars ends at 2:00 and awards are distributed at 2:30. Must be present to win an award.
