Narrative:
The weather was not flyable, but that did not keep history and aviation buffs from attending this annual History and Mystery event held indoors at the adjacent firehouse. Displays and presentations were given throughout the day, some relating to aviation and others relating to history and paranormal interests. Lunch was served in the firehouse kitchen and break room.
