Bell Aircraft Museum Finalizes Summer Activities
The board of directors for the Lawrence D. Bell Aircraft Museum Inc. recently met to finalize plans for summer activities. On the agenda was a Krispy Kreme doughnut fundraiser. Pre-paid orders will be picked up Friday, June 6, at the food tent in downtown Mentone during the Egg Festival.
It was voted to continue the collection of gently used shoes in Mentone and surrounding areas. The collected shoes will be sent to the needy and benefit the Bell Huey restoration. The board also decided to have a drawing June 6 at the food tent for those who bring 10 pairs of shoes to donate. The winner will receive a free helicopter ride Saturday, Sept. 6 at the museum’s Rotors Over Mentone event.
Additionally, it was noted the museum will be holding regularly scheduled hours from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. beginning Sunday, June 1, and will be available other times by appointment.
