ENFIELD: Families from across the region took flight into a day of fun, learning, and community spirit as the Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum hosted its 9th Annual Family Fun Day on Saturday, June 20.
An estimated 491 visitors attended the popular event, taking advantage of warm temperatures and sunny skies for much of the day before rain arrived late in the afternoon.
The museum grounds were filled with activities designed to entertain children and adults alike. Young visitors lined up to launch stomp rockets, explore a fire truck, enjoy cotton candy, receive temporary tattoos, and build paper airplanes.
Military reenactors and an open house at the museum’s Boeing 737 Flight Simulator also proved to be popular attractions, while families gathered for a community barbecue throughout the day.
