Holiday Happening

The Chanute Air Museum's third holiday fund-raiser, the Festival of Trees 2008, will start the season in Rantoul, Illinois, on Sunday, November 30, 2008. It will close Saturday, December 6, 2008, at 5:00pm, with a silent auction held for anyone interested in purchasing a decorated tree.
For children there will be an art contest and an essay contest. The art work and the essays will be on display at the museum for all to enjoy during the week of the Festival. Judging for the art contest and the essay contest will be done November 28, 2008. The winners will be contacted by phone.
The Museum, which is primarily volunteer-staffed, will use the funding from the Festival to expand its educational programs for youth. It will enable us to provide more scholarships to the science and aviation camps offered each summer.
