The SnowBirds Are Coming!
Mark your calendars for September 26-27, 2008!
Welcome to In Plane View! Here I'll be chronicling the latest developments for Chico AirFest! Check Back Often.
Three years ago I worked at, and saw, my very first Air Show. I cried, right there on the tarmac. Not big ugly tears caused by pain, but sentimental ones that come after you’ve witnessed an act of patriotism or your kid’s first play. The kind of tears that come with a big lump in your throat and goosebumps up your arms and legs. I was surprised by my reaction to the performances, and excited to be part of the action.
I am a new lover of aviation, and a marketing girl who happens to be lucky enough to work again as part of this year’s AirFest, scheduled for September 26-27, 2008 at the Chico Municipal Airport. Brought to you by Victor Treatment Centers, and presented by Northern California National Bank, the show is unfolding day by day.
At the show, the stunning, 9-jet team of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds will take to the skies… This is a FIRST for Chico, as the Snowbirds picked our community as one of only 11 U.S. cities to make their appearance in 2008. This is big. Real big. For a taste of what to expect from the Snowbirds, check out their website here.
The community is rallying behind the show. A Main Hobbies and Stott Outdoor Advertising have signed on as Title Sponsors, and others have followed suit. Additional sponsorships and vendor opportunities are now available! Log on to our website at chicoairfest.com for information. Or, if you’re interested in sponsoring the show contact Amy Orr at amy@orrganizedevents.com. Want to volunteer? Contact our main office at 530-230-1284. We welcome your participation!
I welcome your feedback and would love to hear your comments about the show.
Until next time…
Alice
