Flights & Bites With Santa
2022-12-15
Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! Santa Claus is coming to the Vintage Wings & Wheels Museum on December 4th at 2PM. Come get into the holiday spirit with the family and enjoy this super kid friendly event!

*WEATHER PERMITING* we hear Santa will be arriving by his special North Pole Plane to give his reindeer more rest before their big haul on Christmas Eve. If weather is an issue, he’ll be using some elf magic to appear in a different way!

Once Santa has arrived, he will mingle with all of the guests while we listen to the Belvidere North High School Choraliers sing Christmas carols, eat cookies, drink from the hot cocoa bar, and participate in various activities for kids 1-18! Santa will also be available for photos.

Again, weather permitting, Santa will also be raffling off FOUR TICKETS to four lucky kiddos who would like to go up with him and his trusty pilot for an airplane ride around Poplar Grove Airport. This will all depend on weather, we cannot stress this enough! Tickets will be sold at $25 a piece.
Admission can be purchased at the door. $5 per person. 2 and under free.

Hope to see you there!
