Powder puff volunteers
at Camp ta kum ta!
On Wednesday, August 14th the BFA-Saint Albans Powder Puff Program participated in volunteering at Camp Ta Kum Ta. As always, we have the team do this at the end of summer before the hustle and bustle of their senior year starts. The team received a tour of the camp and then separated into groups helping to close down the camp for the summer. They weeded, hacked at greenery that was taller than them, cleaned up piles of tree debris, etc. The hope is that the team remembers why this program exists, realizes that what they are doing to fundraise money for our community is bigger than themselves, and can personally see one of the two places where the money being raised will go. As always, they make BFA proud!

Happy back to school!
We wanted to make sure you knew about a great STEM event coming up in the next few weeks- please see below:
The Vermont Aviators Association (VAA) is happy to announce our first Green Mountain Aviation Field Days will take place 14-15 Sept 2024. We believe this will be the largest aviation and STEM event in Vermont in over 30 years! This community event will feel more like a State Fair / Open House / Touch a Truck event than an airshow. Our theme will focus on the "Past, Present, and Future of Aviation'' with a heavy emphasis on education and STEM highlighting some of the wonderful opportunities available to kids, and adults, here in VT.
We currently have ~47 aircraft confirmed for our static displays, a 20,000 sq/ft Hanger to house our STEM exhibits, flight simulators, Radio Controlled races, numerous DoD, Airport and Local vehicles for "touch-a-truck" displays, 11 Food trucks, and five bands playing throughout the weekend. EAA Chapter 613 will host a Young Eagles Event in conjunction with our Field Days providing FREE discovery flights to children from 7 to 17 year old's providing them an opportunity to experience the thrill of flight in a small aircraft.
More info and tickets can be found at our Green Mountain Aviation Field Days website. Children 12 and under are free."
