The event featured a variety of activities for all ages, including air demonstrations, antique tractors, food trucks, games, airplane rides, displays, contests, and vendors. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn more about Currituck County’s agricultural and aviation industries through educational exhibits and demonstrations. Farmers were celebrated with a complimentary breakfast provided by Craft Aviation and the Currituck Extension Foundation.
Contests and games were another highlight of the event. Winners of the Arts and Crafts division of the Homegrown and Handmade contests included 5-8 year olds Ben Larsen, Anna Moseley, Emerald Cison, and Chris Thomas with various artistic creations.
