Memorial Day this coming Monday

We've never been in PS for this holiday and I'm looking forward to seeing the 3,000 red and white carnations being dropped at the PS Air Museum. We're very close so we may even snag one. We certainly will see the air displays.  I might even be tempted to go since Harpo the Clown is going to be there :)

Annual Memorial Day Air Fair and Flower Drop
