AIRWAY HEIGHTS – The Parks and Recreation Department is hosting Airway Heights Day on Saturday, Oct. 9 at Sunset Park.
Airway Heights Day is both a fun-filled family event and a fundraiser, according to parks Director J.C. Kennedy
Although planning of the annual event has been difficult since the onset of the pandemic, the director said staff managed to pull it together.
“It gives the community a chance to come out and have fun at the local park,” he said.
Several area businesses and non-profits will be there, and the event includes fun activities for the whole family, Kennedy said.
Festivities begin at 10 a.m. with the Matadors Auto Club Show and Shine and end at 8 p.m. after live music concludes Saturday night.
From hot rods and classic cars to motorcyles, there are a lot of unique West Plains area automobiles on display at the Show and Shine, he said.
Event attendees can also enjoy food, crafts and vendors and exhibits.
At 11 a.m., participants can bring their carved pumpkin to the Kiwanis Club pumpkin races. The winners will move on to the next round and there will be prizes, including best decorated and best design.
This fun, messy event requires pre-registration and limited space is available, officials said.
Meanwhile, The Kid’s Zone is a good place for the little ones to have some fun. They can hop and bounce their wiggles out on inflatables from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., officials said.
From 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the fun continues with the Second Chance Ranch petting zoo, where children can interact with different animals.
At noon, the family fun is in full swing with the double elimination Corn Hole Tournament.
Prizes will be awarded to first- and second-place winners.
There will be a Kiwanis Beer Garden and live music by local bands to end the evening.
