9/27 Club Update

Nancy’s Notes

We are under 3 months away from the 2025 Fly-In & Expo.

Have you gotten your tickets yet? Let me remind you that as in years past the Saturday Club tickets sold out early, on December 13^th!

Ticket sales are on track for Wednesday and Friday to also sell out prior to the Air Show as in the past few years.  So, when I tell you get your tickets now… Please do that.

There will be giveaways each day and raffle items. The food will be amazing as usual, check the posted menus.

When you buy your club tickets ONLINE prior to the airshow your Event entry ticket is included. If tickets are available on the day of the show, you will buy your entry ticket at the gate, then pay full price for the Club ticket at the chalet.

WEEKLY ticket holders will have VIP seating at the Tuesday evening Concert, PLEASE let me know if you will be attending, we will only set chairs up for those weekly ticket holders who RSVP to me, there is limited space.

Thank you so much for supporting the education program here at the Aerospace Center for Excellence at SUN ‘n FUN.

– Nancy Leenhouts – 9/27 Club Chairman at the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo
