Flight Fest Combines History and Fun in Glenview

An early fall festival in Glenview does a great job of combining history and fun for youth, according to Kathy Woods’ review in Chicago Parent magazine.

The Glenview Park District will host “Flight Fest” all day on September 26 at Gallery Park. According to Woods, the fest “grew out of a desire to honor the history of the area while offering enough bells and whistles to make this a truly not-to-be-missed family outing.”

The second year of the festival garnered even more attendees than the inaugural event, and even more are expected for the third version this year.

“The Blue Max Aces will dazzle the crowd with the dips and dives of remote control airplane maneuvers. Prepare for oohs and aahs from the kids—and maybe the pleading puppy-dog look that says they want one. You might pack a little extra cash just in case they decide to explore the on-site hobby shop.”
