FatherFest at American Helicopter Museum & Education Center

FatherFest at American Helicopter Museum & Education Center
FatherFest 
Sunday, June 17th
10am-3pm


Various aircraft from military to home-built highlight this year’s FatherFest on Sunday, June 17, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., at the American Helicopter Museum & Education Center (AHMEC). The legendary annual event, which began in 2000 as a way to honor dads for all they do, also features antique cars and motorcycles, food trucks, a beer garden, sports-oriented inflatable games and more.

FatherFest’s theme of “Celebrate the Wonder of Flight” incorporates an intriguing roster that includes a Magni M-16 gyrocopter; helicopters from the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, United States Coast Guard Air Station, Atlantic City, and the Pennsylvania State Police; a home-built RotorWay 162-F and a Robinson R-44 helicopters; and fixed wings: a J-3 Piper Cub and T-28 Trojan Navy Trainer. Adding to the “Flight” idea are a birds of prey exhibition from The Falconry Girl, Margaret Young, and a demonstration by Mike Dupuy Falconry at 1 p.m.

Food trucks like Zac's Burger, Haute Wheels and The Tot Cart create culinary delights while Malvern’s Locust Lane Brewery’s Beer Garden refreshes with amazing brews. And Kona Ice’s cold, sweet treats always satisfy on a hot day.

Additional entertainment includes DJ music by Full Moon Entertainment, Larry Smythe’s M.A.S.H. military collection, Gary Deaver Out of the Box Robotics Team and dogs from Paws for People™ Pet-Assisted Visitation Volunteer Services. Vendors such as Crossan Kettle Corn sell wonderful goods for all ages, and groups like the United States Army, United States Coast Guard Flotilla 04-76 and Chapter 436 of Vietnam Veterans of America offer information about their respective organizations.

Admission is $10.00 per person. Helicopter rides cost $60.00 per person extra on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 10:00 a.m. until 3 p.m. Contact AHMEC at 610-436-9600 or see the website at www.americanhelicopter.museum for more information.
