"Airport Day is a community day around the airport where we try to bring up people to look at the airport, see what we have going on, and look at all the different aviation type displays that we have around the county," said Lt. Warren E. Eaton Airport Administrator Shane Butler. "We’ve got a lot of different things for people to see and do at the airport."

Airport Day is free to attend and free to park. Butler said all are welcome to attend, and aviators are welcome to fly in their planes, helicopters, and other aircraft.
