Support helps Kenai Peninsula Air Fair soar

The KPAF Planning Committee for the Cities of Kenai and Soldotna would like to thank all the volunteers, sponsors and businesses who generously contributed to the event.

Although the weather did not co-operate in the morning, nineteen pilots participated in the peninsula-wide poker run. 2016 sponsors who donated the fantastic poker run prizes, were AOPA, ATP Medicine, Alaska Railroad, Alaska West Air, Barnstormer Aviation, Chena Hot Springs, Chugach Outdoor Center, Dan’s TV, Grant Aviation, Home Depot, Knik Construction, Metal Magic, Nenana Raft Adventures, Froso’s, Flats Bistro, Odie’s Deli, St. Elias Brewing Co., Kenai River Brewing Co., RAVN Alaska, Spenard Builder’s Supply, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Trinity Greenhouse, Trustworthy Hardware and Tustumena Smokehouse.

Thank you to the financial sponsors Alaska Oil Sales, Alaska Airmen’s Association, Peninsula Aero Tech, Wince-Corthell-Bryson and Peninsula Ears, Nose and Throat. Without your generous support, this event would not be possible.

Special thank you to Mayor Pat Porter, Councilman Bob Molly, Matt Kelly, Rob Justice, Olivia Brewer, Alaska Wing Commemorative Air Force, Kodiak USCG, the local EAA Chapter, American Legion Post 20, Airgas, Jr. Civil Air Patrol, Jumping Junction, Kenai Senior Center, Kenai Chamber of Commerce, Missionary Aviation Repair Center (MARC), S & R Pumping, Copper River Seafood, for your donations, time, and work.
