This year the fifth annual Airport Daze celebration was moved to a new date, Memorial Day.

The event was slated to begin at noon on Monday with Young Eagle flights offered to area youngsters. However, that event had to be canceled due to high winds and is being rescheduled for June 18.

The rest of the day went off without a hitch as many area visitors dropped in to take a look at the Heritage In Flight Museum's long line of vintage aircraft and Army vehicles, along with a car show featuring the Railsplitter Antique Auto Club.

Diners had the choice of pork barbecue or hot dog.

"You want ketchup on that dog?"

Tables filled quickly at dinner time. Many lingered after eating to watch the dancing and visit with friends.
