Over 3,000 people attended the event to celebrate Currituck County's rich history in agriculture and aviation.  The event featured a variety of activities for all ages, including air demonstrations, antique tractors, food trucks, games, airplane rides, displays, contests, and vendors.  Attendees also had the opportunity to learn more about Currituck County's agricultural and aviation industries through educational exhibits and demonstrations. Farmers were celebrated with a complimentary breakfast provided by Craft Aviation and the Currituck Extension Foundation.  Contests and games were another highlight of the event.
