Saturday, September 10, 2016, the Camdenton Memorial Lake Regional Airport will be home to this highly anticipated air show. There will be seating available, but blankets and lawn chairs are highly recommended. You will want to pick your spot, settle in, and get comfortable for a day full of non-stop action that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Here is some of the scheduled entertainment.
