'The most ambitious project it's ever taken on' is how the Director of the DeWitt County Museum describes an exhibit that opens to the public this weekend.
Joey Long is the Director of the CH Moore Homestead and explains there is a lot of excitement for this weekend's opening of the exhibit, Prairie Flyers: A Half-Century of Aviation in DeWitt County.
John Warner, who brought the idea of the exhibit to the Museum, called it a big city exhibit. His colleague Denis Hambucken says this is a top-notch, professional-grade presentation.
Edith Brady-Lunny tapped into her journalism background to get the testimony of local aviators and veterans. This Saturday will be a full day of activities to usher in the opening of the month-long exhibit and coinciding events.
This Saturday, there will be activities for kids including an early morning launching of a hot air balloon on the Homestead grounds.
Organizers direct anyone interested in more details about the exhibit and opening day festivities to find 'Prairie Flyers: A Half-Century of Aviation in DeWitt County' on Facebook.
