Wild West Air Fest helps close out summer in Steamboat Springs

If you're a local, you've probably observed that our mornings have been growing progressively cooler. As August turns to September, the change of seasons will soon bring with it the crisp clear nights and frosty mornings that are characteristic of the autumn and winter seasons in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Although it seems as though summer is coming to a close in our little mountain town, there's no need to be sad because there's a grand celebration on the horizon. It's the 8th Annual Wild West Air Fest and Labor Day Weekend Celebration!

The festivities begin Friday, August 31st and continue through to the following Monday, September 2. The weekend includes a vintage and warbird static aircraft display, classic cars, radio controlled airplane shows, a Wings over the Rockies KidSpace and so much more. Click here for more information about all the happenings. Click here to see the official schedule.

We have experience to awesomeness of ballooning but wow.... I'd love to ride in one of these old planes.  My Dad owned a personal small plane and I have some great memories of flying with him.  I dreamed of being a Pilot but let me teenager stupidity get in the way of my goal.

Charlie, this is something I would love to attend if I lived anywhere near Colorado!  That C-47 pictured has the D-DAY white identification stripes painted on it!  How did your area do with all those awful wildfires that got out of control, Charlie?

Bruce,

 

No big fires around Steamboat. Many small ones that were controlled after a day. I think it's because the terrain here is not as rugged and thus easier to fight.
