'Twas a few weeks before Christmas, and all over the tarmac,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Wildcat;
The Guard had their Blackhawks ready and prepared,
Knowing that St. Nicholas was on his way there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While CF-18s zoomed over their heads;
And Bruce in the tower, and Tim at his desk,
Were preparing the airfield for a very special guest.

 

Perhaps the world's most famous pilot, Kris Kringle, will spend a week at the Salina Municipal Airport and host an open house exclusively for the good boys and girls of Salina and surrounding area, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. at the Salina Airport's Hangar 600 located at 2720 Arnold.

Santa's reindeer will be resting up for the big day, so a local pilot will escort him to the event.  Kids of all ages will enjoy milk, cookies and cocoa with Mr. Claus himself free of charge. 

With the Jolly Old Elf's little elves hard at work in the North Pole, K-State Salina student organizations will be on hand with ornaments to decorate, cookie jars to take home and puppy chow.  They will also be keeping parents supplied with hot coffee and taking photos with Santa in front of a K-State airplane.  A small donation is requested for all club activities. 

Don't forget those less fortunate this holiday season!  Candy Canes and Airplanes will serve as a temporary toy drop location for Toys for Tots.
