  1. Festivals in Wichita And where they come from By Trea Gadbury Alissa Farley Keith Simmons

  2. Flight Festival celebrates the fact that we are the air capital of the U.S.A. • It can involve lots of stunt planes performing aerial tricks. • This years performances will be performed by Red Eagle Air Sports, Red Barron Pizza Squadron, and Oregon Aero Sky Dancer. • The date will be August 22, 2008 - August 24, 2008. • This festival is celebrated merely for public enjoyment, and to celebrate our dominance in the airplane making business.

  3. River Festival • The River Fest is about when the pioneers decided to have a year long celebration of the 100th anniversary of Wichita. • It was called the River Festival, because the Arkansas River was such an important resource they had the last day of the year long fest along the river. • They held A carnival, hoe-down, hometown fair, water shows, a pow-wow and A fishing contest. • This is now an annual event and attracts people from all over Kansas adding up to about 350,000 people.

  4. The 8th Annual WSU Car Show • This is a car show created by the Kansas W.S.U college students. • This is all the college kids showing off there ‘Hot Rods’ for everyone else. • This is funded by the college students mostly, and occasionally the college funds some of it. • Last years’ winner was Wayne Bagby with a 1949 Chevy Truck.

  5. Conclusion • All in all Wichita does not have the largest amount of festivals but it does have some of the most entertaining. • I hope you enjoyed this power point and learned something from it.
