On October 3, 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon left Sabishiro Beach in Misawa, Japan, to fly Miss Veedol across the ocean in the first non-stop, transPacific flight. After 41 hours in the air, Miss Veedol crash landed on the bluffs above East Wenatchee. The Wenatchee Valley has been connected to Misawa and the aviation world ever since and Pangborn's Festival of Flight was created to celebrate this historic event. Join us for a free, family friendly, community event! Learn about East Wenatchee's aviation history, check out some amazing airplanes, grab some lunch from our delicious food vendors, have your face painted, visit our exhibitors and have fun learning with their exciting aviation and Japanese activities!

Pangborn's Festival of Flight was started to help tell the story of Clyde Pangborn flying Miss Veedol from Misawa, Japan and crash landing in East Wenatchee for the first nonstop, transPacific flight. To help with the theme of the event, we ask that each booth has a craft or activity that is Japanese or airplane related. Here are a few booth activity examples that we have compiled.

Japanese Calligraphy
Origami
Write your own Haiku on Japanese paper
Try on a Kimono and Geta
Kendama (kids can try playing with one) – Hooked on Toys has them
Juggling Otedama (small beanbags)
Decorate a fan
Spin Drum
Paper Lanterns
Ninja Stress Balls
Origami Ninja Star
Zen Garden (small, medium or large)
How to make Dorodango Balls
Chopsticks – maybe a “how-to” or decorate your own
Play a Japanese instrument
