Editor,
The annual Polson Fly-in was a huge success. Sixty-six planes flew in and breakfast was served to more than 300 people. In addition to having 66 fellow pilots fly to Polson for the event, the fly-in was made even more successful because so many people from the community came to the airport, viewed the planes, talked with the owners and learned how important the airport is to the Polson community and surrounding area. This shows visitors that Polson is a welcoming community. When visitors feel welcome, they are more likely to return for a longer stay. The fly-in is one of those events that extends the visitor season beyond the traditional three summer months.
I would like to say thanks for the support of the Polson Chamber of Commerce, the Polson merchants who donated items for the beautiful raffle basket, plus a donated framed print, the Polson cheerleaders who helped serve the breakfast and sell raffle tickets and all the local pilots and their families who helped make the fly-in a community success.
