LACONIA — WinnAero, the STEM education nonprofit for youth, has rescheduled its popular “Wings, Water & Wheels” fundraiser for Saturday, May 16, at Laconia Airport. The event was postponed last Saturday due to heavy rain.
The family-oriented event will operate in the “touch a plane, touch-a-truck” format.
Several aircraft owners will display their airplanes while Gilford Fire and Police, and the County Sheriff will have vehicles for kids to see. The Belknap County SWAT vehicle will also be on display. Kids under 18 can fly free orientation flights at the event thanks to the local chapter of the EAA. Pine Tree Helicopters will be offering helo rides for a fee to children and adults.
“Wings, Water & Wheels” is WinnAero’s main fundraiser to help deliver aviation and aerospace education to youth throughout New Hampshire. This is an excellent opportunity to speak directly with the pilots, operators, police and fire personnel about their planes, vehicles and careers.
Laconia Airport gates open at 9 a.m. on May 16 and the event will run until 2 p.m. A small admission fee is accepted to support this mission.
