Holiday Happening

The Chanute Air Museum's first holiday fund-raiser, the Festival of Trees 2006, will jump start the season in Rantoul, Illinois, on Saturday, November 18, 2006, beginning with a gingerbread house design contest. It will continue through December 2, 2006, when it will close with a silent auction of 30 award winning trees decorated by local sponsors. The Festival will include a holiday recipe contest, local musical entertainment, food concessions, and an art competition for children providing many opportunities for community involvement.

The Museum, which is primarily volunteer-staffed, will use the funding from the Festival to expand its educational programs for youth, to provide increased scholarships for attendance at the science and aviation camps offered each summer. Entry forms for the contests and the drawings for the children's art competition will be available at the links below.
