Breakfast with Santa
December 14, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Santa’s making his way to Greene County by air in December for a special event, but he’s not arriving by sleigh and reindeer. For this special event, he’s hoping to fly in on a white and red airplane, perfect for a pancake breakfast and pictures at the Greene County Airport’s Community Hangar.
The event – a partnership between the Greene County Flyers Club and Battle 4 Warriorz – will feature a pancake breakfast starting at 11am on Saturday, December 14. After breakfast, Santa will be arriving in his plane – or maybe more conventional methods if the weather makes flying difficult – to take photos with the kids there. And that’s not all! There will be a hot chocolate bar, plenty of games for kids, a coloring station, and maybe some other fun activities. The best part? The event is free!
Kristie Volchko, a pilot from Georgia, is a member of the Greene County Flyers Club and sits on the board for Battle for Warriorz. After hearing about a similar event elsewhere, she worked with both groups to bring the event to Greene County for the first time in 2018. “We organized the event solely through sponsors and donations,” Kristie shared. In addition to the volunteers, sponsors like NexGen Industrial Contractors, FM Powder Coating, Direct Results, and individual contributors have aided the event. Battle 4 Warriorz, one of the organizations involved, provides services to veterans in the area, as well as helping the community.
The Greene County Flyers Club, part of the SOAR in Greene County, is hoping the event will bring more attention to the airport and the services the Flyers Club offers. The club has classes to teach students how to fly, and members that already have a pilot’s license but no plane have access to the club’s plane for a special rate. “The club helps make flying affordable,” Kristie said. “We’re hoping that we can generate more interest in aviation with this event, as well as future events we’re want to have this spring and summer.”
Shirts are available for order through Direct Results – www.drfanwear.com/breakfastwithsanta/until Dec. 4 for pickup at the event or the following week.
