A unique combination fly-in and car show is coming to the Kosciusko-Attala County Airport on Saturday, Oct. 17, to raise funds for a vital regional cause.
The event, hosted in partnership with Franks Chevrolet and the Kosy Cruisers Car Club, will benefit Pilots for Patients, an organization that provides free air transportation for patients in need of specialized medical care. Local pilots Stephen Franks and Ryan Lindsey regularly volunteer with the organization to fly individuals from Mississippi and Louisiana to Houston for specialized cancer treatments at no cost.
“We appreciate Stephen and all the other pilots who donate their time, their planes and their fuel to help people,” said Kosciusko Mayor Tim Kyle.
The fundraiser will feature a car show, aircraft displays, food trucks, and family activities.
Registration for the car show runs from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. with a $25 entry fee. Trophies will be presented for the Top 10 Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles, with the awards presentation scheduled for 2:00 p.m. There will also be food trucks and bounce houses for kids.
All proceeds from the event will directly support Pilots for Patients in transporting patients to medical treatments.
The Kosciusko-Attala County Airport is located at 2629 County Road 2221 in Kosciusko.
