Fantasy of Flight Signature Event Roars Back in November

Fantasy of Flight is set to “Roar and Soar” in November when their Third Annual Roar n’ Soar two-day land, sea and air extravaganza takes place this Nov. 7 and 8.   The All-American-themed, combination air show, classic car show and slalom race, boat show and regatta, water-ski show and extreme sports showcase will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the attraction’s spacious lakefront grounds and airfield in Polk City.

Throughout the festival, the best of the best in aviation perform precision aerial maneuvers, flying at speeds of up to 300 miles per hour, in Fantasy of Flight owner Kermit Weeks’  “World’s Greatest Aircraft Collection.”  Challenging their full-size counterparts, giant-scale model aircraft will strut their stuff in their own demonstrations.  Meanwhile, classic car lovers stroll through the Rare, Antique, Classic & Exotic Car Show, marveling at classic and one-of-a-kind luxury automobiles.  Powered paragliders create a colorful canopy in the sky while vintage race boats from the Classic Race Boat Association perform fly-bys below.  New this year, they’re also hosting a “Sweet & Saucy” food festival with ice cream and hot wing recipe contests, tasting and interactive activities, as well as arts and crafts for the kids.

Advance ticket purchasers will receive one FREE child’s admission ($12, ages 6-15) with each paid adult ticket ($23). In addition, guests will receive an “added value” when they donate supplies for troop care packages to be assembled and mailed at the festival in conjunction with Homefront Hugs USA.
