Young Emerging Leaders

Man, is May a fun week in the Fort, or WHAT!!!

Folks are enjoying the Classics -- Nationwide Tour and Celebrity Classic -- and all the cool stuff that goes along with each.

Plus, next weekend (May 17 and 18), we celebrate the Fort Smith Air Show.

Here's a place to get the latest info on the air show. www.fortsmithairshow.org.

Also attached to this post is a map of the venue showing the most critical information -- where you can park for $5 if you don't want to ride in on a convenient shuttle, where teh restrooms are, etc.

The family play area is always very cool for kids. They have those jump around thingys (okay, so I'm not a parent) that are aviation-themed. Also available will be simulator experiences. Some are $5 but I think one or two are free.

Gates open between 8 and 8:30am. The Thunderbirds will fly last Saturday and Sunday -- usually around 2 or 3pm depending on the weather.

Sunday's show is the same as Saturdays.

Come help our military men and women -- and their families -- celebrate Armed Services weekend. Tell them "Thanks!" for all they do for us every day.

See you there!
