Festival of Trees 2006 winners:

The Chanute Air Museum's first holiday fund-raiser, the Festival of Trees 2006, held in Rantoul, Illinois, from November 18, 2006, through December 2, 2006, was a great success. The Festival closed with a silent auction of the trees decorated by local sponsors.

The Museum wishes to thank the many sponsors, volunteers, and staff who made this event happen. We will use the funding from the Festival to expand our educational programs for youth, by providing increased scholarships for attendance at the science and aviation camps offered each summer.
