Harvest Festival and Fun Run Recap!! Despite the weather we had the best time getting the community together at the Madras Airport!! Kids participated in trunk-or-treat, many ran in both our 5k and 1 mile fun run, and there were many delectable boxes of donuts being enjoyed! Families and friends had a blast stepping into the hangar to look at some beautiful planes and enjoy a hot beverage and some popcorn! Thank you to everyone who came, we look forward to next year!
