The DeWitt County Museum's coming aviation exhibit highlighting the stories of aviation in DeWitt County is gaining a lot of momentum and interest.

The exhibit, titled 'Prairie Flyers: A Century of Aviation in DeWitt County, was proposed by John Warner and his friend Denis Hambucken who pitched the idea for the exhibit to Joey Long at the DeWitt County Museum. Warner indicates the Museum has embraced the idea and now the community is embracing it as well.

'Pretty amazing' is how Long describes the response to this idea from the community. The Museum has asked for artifacts and stories from those in DeWitt County and the community has stepped up and delivered.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Hambucken told Regional Radio he is curating the exhibit and says the response and the material he has to work with have exceeded his expectations.

Hambucken calls it a month-long celebration of aviation in DeWitt County with special events surrounding this exhibit.

The exhibit will open on May 28 and be at the Museum's carriage barn until July 3.
