The Fargo Air Museum Celebrates
he Fargo Air Museum celebrated its Celebrity Auction and Dinner: Planes, Pilots & Puns on April 14 with hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, dinner, and a live auction. The Fargo Air Museum is unique in the world of aircraft museums because it not only houses, but also flies, many of its historic aircraft.
“This auction was our kick-off fund raising event for the museum’s new wing,” Fran Brummund, executive director, said. “Our new wing will double the size of our existing museum and will focus on education and restoration.” areawoman featuring moorhead
Twenty-five celebrities, including NDSU President Bresciani, graced the tables with entertainment and antics while they served a dinner prepared by the Garden Hilton.
The spirited live auction included tickets for an aerobatic ride on “Super Chipmunk,” two rides on the P-51, and a ride on “Miss Mitchell,” which is a North American B-25 Bomber. Gift certificates and gourmet dinners were also included.
“The Celebrity Auction and Dinner was a great start to begin funding our new wing,” Brummund said.
Activities at the Fargo Air Museum this summer’s are high flying! They include WWII Bomber tours, a plane camp, the Vietnam Memorial Exhibit, and the Fargo AirSho. [AWM] For more information visit fargoairmuseum.org.
