April-May Events

Wings and Wheels Fly-In and Cruise-In

April 27

This is a combination classic car and classic airplane show. There were more than 200 cars, with eight of them coming from our club. A highlight of the day was watching the Commemorative Air Force's World War II B-25 Mitchell bomber take off and land.

It was a nice event with good weather, live entertainment and good food available.

Members of our club volunteer to help out at this large swap meet by working the registration table and helping place vendors in their assigned spots.

The Maifest event is held annually in the New Town subdivision of St. Charles. The festival celebrates our local German heritage. Often there will be visitors from Germany present. We were invited to display some of our cars on the festival grounds. We had six cars ranging from a 1949 Pontiac to a 1995 Cadillac. In between were a 1957 Chevrolet, 1966 Corvair, 1975 Chevrolet Caprice and a 1991 Chrysler TC.
