1) Astronaut Chris Hadfield doing a youth and children’s presentation Canda Day July 1 (attendance restricted to 400 due to building constraints) admission waived for all under 17 years old.

2) Canada Day Multi aircraft fly over of 4-5 communities courtesy of the visiting Vintage Wings of Canada and Discovery Air aircraft.

The Last Airfest is over and while the feeling is very bittersweet the event was a huge success. The day started off dicy with shaky weather but it all came together in the afternoon and Discovery Air Hawk One F-86 Sabre arrived in the middle of an already huge event to an excited crowd.

In the end a great event with rough numbers showing attendance around 10,000
Thanks to all that helped.
