Air Show
The Maple Split Ice Cream Social, a Camrose tradition recognizing the Snowbirds awe-inspiring maple split maneuver, is open to all age groups. Doing a trial run in anticipation of a large crowd this Friday evening are ice cream lovers, L to R, Dean Lindseth, Quinn Lindseth, Seth Leask, Cassidy Lindseth, Charlie Vanden Dungen, Tricia Vanden Dungen, Tessa Leask For the world-famous Canadian Forces Snowbirds, Camrose remains one of their favourite destinations. And, this weekend, July 26 and 27th, these renowned aviators, along with the CAF SkyHawks Parachute Demonstration Team and other members of the RCAF, are back in the community, on the tarmac and overhead Camrose Airport (see page 9 for details).
The Iron Creek Flying Club and Camrose Flying Club Volunteers who simply want to share their love of aviation have teamed up to make this possible for our community. Your admission and on-site participation will help make this year's airshow a success and ensure future shows can occur in our small but enthusiastic market for aviation. The weekend of sky-high entertainment, autographs, food, and chats with heroes of the air, will launch on Friday evening at Camrose Airport when you have the chance to cool down at the Maple Split Ice Cream Social. A $2.00 ice cream sundae (while supplies last), is yours to enjoy. Your purchase of airshow tickets in advance at camroseairshow.com will help keep all dedicated volunteers safe and traffic flowing smoothly on-site. Come early to get front row spots in designated parking areas, not nearby roadways.
