This year's Fest featured world class air shows (see Schedule of Events).....day and night! There was an amazing Balloon Glow on Saturday evening, with formation flying Aeroshell T-6's planes circling overhead and leading into the night air shows. The 25 hot-air balloons carried passengers on Saturday morning from the Osteen area (because of the winds from the Southwest) up toward Port Orange.
Hundreds of attendees took exhilarating helicopter and open-cockpit biplane rides! There was wonderful live music and other demonstrations in the Entertainment Theater, and lots of excitement in Embry-Riddle's Education Zone. The Carnival area was a big hit with our young and young-at-heart guests.
THANKS FOR COMING OUT AND HAVING FUN!
And, THANK YOU for allowing us again to help our area's youth organizations – they are our future!
––––––––– By serving in volunteer roles during the Fest, eight area youth organizations were able to earn a total of $13,200 by working at the 2012 Fest. It is our goal to benefit several area youth organizations in an even bigger way in 2013... Stay tuned for more information.
