SELFRIDGE AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Mich.— Leadership of the 127th Wing announced the dates for the Selfridge 2020 Open House and Air Show today, during an event at the Selfridge Military Air Museum. The next open house and air show will be June 6-7, 2020.
“The Selfridge 2020 Open house and Air Show is free and open to the public, creating an opportunity to bring in hundreds of thousands of guests to see what we do here,” open house and air show director Lt. Col. Brian Donnellon, said.
This family event will not only showcase aerial acts, but it will also highlight static aircraft displays and a kids’ zone. There will also be food and drink vendors, a veterans’ area and much more.
“Open houses and air shows give us an opportunity to share what your, ‘Hometown Air Force,’ does here,” said Brig. Gen. Rolf E. Mammen, 127th Wing and Selfridge Air National Guard Base commander. “We can showcase Selfridge as a cornerstone of Michigan communities and enhance local partnerships in the process.”
In conjunction with the announcement, the community event included a ceremony to honor the top three winners of the official open house and air show coin design contest. Thirty design submissions were assessed by a judging committee comprised of 12 civic, community and military leaders from surrounding communities.
Third and second place designers were Charles Zucal and Mackenzie Johnson respectively. First-place winner, Xandraya Rodriguez, will have her design minted on the official Selfridge Base Community Council commemorative challenge coin.
