A lot of people will be drinking alcohol and having a good ol' Irish time since Saturday is St. Patrick's Day. What to you do if you have children or you don't drink alcohol? Have no fear! A great event that I have been to before is the Paper Airplane Festival.

The Paper Airplane Festival takes place at the San Diego Air & Space Museum at 2001 Pan American Plaza in Balboa Park from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Admission is $17.50 to $24.00 for adults, and each adult is allowed to bring up to four children to the festival at no charge.

Learn how to create different types of airplanes. Your creations will be judged in various categories, including farthest flight distance, flight accuracy, and longest air time.

At 3:00 p.m. there will be a group launch of all the paper airplanes.

Lots of fun for the entire family!

That is so cool. I wish I was able to go to that. One of the simplest yet fun things to do as a kid was to make a paper airplane.

Jim,

I hope you had a great celebration and a superb weekend.  I love the whole concept of the Paper Plane Festival, and as a kid I used to make lots of paper planes, and I loved flying them.  Did you take any pictures? A
