RC2U will be on site for museum visitors to drive RC Monster trucks! This is an additional charge by the vendor.
The museum is also hosting a book sale which features 100s of used books and magazines. We have tons of books on sale on aviation, flight, military history, cookbooks, exercise books, and many other genres. Make sure to stop by the sale table near the bar.
Come hungry as we have tons of great food options from our many food trucks including Patriot Concessions, Pirate Pete’s Soda Pop Company, Rita’s Water Ice of Rio Grande, Waffle Up, and Poppin’ Bobs! There will be a beer & wine garden for you to cool down and grab an ice-cold drink. The museum will also be selling water, sodas, and soft pretzels.
We have over 25 vendors and exhibitors that will be at the event all day. Most vendors take credit cards but cash is always accepted. If you forget to bring cash you can visit the Flight Deck Diner across the parking lot. They have an ATM inside.
If you are a member or interested in becoming a member please visit the membership tent near the museum’s entrance. If you are looking to just visit the museum for the day you can make your way into the museum for standard admission.
Don’t forget your comfortable walking shoes, hat, and sunscreen! Looking forward to seeing everyone and thanks for supporting us!
