Creston Airport Appreciation Day

Creston Airport Appreciation Day, Monday May 23rd, 2011.

On Victoria Day, the Creston Valley Regional Airport Society volunteers are putting together a display of aircraft and activities for the people of the Creston Valley and visitors.

The purpose is to highlight the importance and usefulness of our Airport facility to all of Creston’s people.

A preliminary program:

· The day will kick off at 10:00 with the Mayor of Creston, Ron Toyota and the President of the Society, Fred Jones welcoming our visitors.

· Most of the activities of the day will be in the form of static displays and interaction with the public.

· Paid for flights, by one of the local commercial operators.

· Raffle for free flights.

· Some kid orientated activities: paper folding and coloring contest with prizes.

· Breakfast and lunch, non hosted, starting at 10:00.

We hope to see the Ambulance Services, IBET, Air Cadets, BC Forestry Service, Fire and Rescue, CASARA, RC club, local commercial operators, experimental aircraft builders, visiting aircraft and pilots involved. This day is also promoted as a Fly In for visiting aircraft from surrounding airports.
