Montgomery Aviation will host the 11th annual Open House, Fly-In and Air Race Aug. 5 at Indianapolis Executive Airport in Zionsville to benefit Down Syndrome of Indiana. The event will consist of aerial events and family friendly activities.

“It’s free to get in, but we are accepting donations because it is a fundraiser supporting DSI,” said Lilly Capecci, regional event coordinator for DSI. “We start the day with a pancake breakfast for $5. After that they will have a parachute jump with the national anthem. Then at 10 a.m. the Indy Air Race will start.”

This year food trucks will be on-site between noon and 1:30 pm. selling lunch and snacks.

“Between noon and 1:30 p.m. there will be a candy drop. That’s one of the most popular activities for kids,” Capecci said. “Then they will have some flybys and other fun aviation things during that time period. Then at 1 p.m. they will have the air race awards.”

Kids can be entertained by a magic show, bounce houses and movie characters. Police officers and firefighters will show kids their vehicles. Parents also can purchase rides in airplanes and helicopters.

Guests can purchase raffle tickets for various items. All proceeds go toward programming at DSI.

The event ends at 2 p.m., and guests can come and go as they please.

DSI expects around 4,000 people to attend. For more, visit dsindiana.org.
