27th Annual Airport Awareness program sees many happy first-time flyers
This year everything came together perfectly, as kids and parents who attended the event were introduced to the magic of first-time flying. For that, youngsters receive a Young Eagles certificate that places them in the ranks of the official National Young Eagles program.
A dedicated group of flying enthusiasts coordinated the day's busy events and continues to volunteer their time to the pastime, whether they are part of the Civil Air Patrol or members of the Airport Zoning Commission.

There was plenty of activity on the perfect summer day. Throughout the area, visitors enjoyed the vendor booths, listening to several political candidates chat with voters, and hearing some great music by the group Counting by Sevens during the picnic session.
An interesting historical exhibit by the Newbury Historical Society was enjoyed at the one-room schoolhouse just down the road from the Hall.
