The Fifth Annual Wings & Wheels, A Georgetown Fall Festival  is slated for Saturday, October 6, 2012 at the Sussex County Airport in Georgetown, DE.  Each year, the event is growing in size and in attendance.  The 2011 event featured the Stage Door Canteen Show on Friday night which was a sell out at 250 people and a good time was had by all.  We hope to do another Friday night show in 2012.

The 2011 event featured 18 vintage planes that flew in; 250 cars in the car show; 16 food vendors; 45 craft and business vendors; kids games; the WWII re-enactors along with the WWII Testimonials, which included a Tuskeegee Airman telling stories from the war.

New in 2011: “Stage Door Canteen” - A Salute to the music of the 40’s - Friday night A Cabaret Show portraying USO Canteen and Road show that is a salute to the men and women who served our country during the second World War.  Songs like "You’ll Never Know", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Stardust" just to mention a few, bridged the separation and gave us the strength and pride to go against “the foe”. The show, presented by Foot Light Productions, a 7 member troupe sang to a sell-out crowd of 250.  Cast of the Canteen & Road Show: Kim Jones, Jennifer Reeves, Orville Nichols, Tom Sweeny, Marjie Eckert & Ches Warrener.  Not pictured: Music Director Richard Eckerd
