The Plaza was turned into a virtual airport with control tower, runway and helicopter landing pad. There was a main room where entrants could build their planes using the supplied paper, tape, glue and paper clips. Numerous styles of planes were constructed by all ages. Entries were broken into 4 age groups and 4 categories, distance, time aloft, entertainment and design.
No report on funds raised for Art on the Edge but considering the fun value of the event, we hope this becomes an annual and increasingly popular occurrence. Proceeds went to the continued funding of art programs open to the area's youth. Art on the Edge programs are open to kids 6-18 and offer after school programs, summer programs and are involved with public art and community art festivals. Founded in 1994, AOTE has worked with over 3,000 children.
