May 21, 2005 An Annual Gathering for Excitement and Smiles

The 3rd Annual Wappinger Family Fun Day was was the most successful event to date!  This year's event began with Associated Aircraft Group, located at the Dutchess County Airport, giving two great kids living with autism a wonderful ride down the Hudson River.  The aircraft than proceeded to land at New Hackensack Fire Department to the day's festivities.  With over 25 local area businesses in attendance, there was lots to see and do for the over 2,000 attendees.  The proceeds from this year's event will benefit The Autism Awareness Fund and New Hackensack Fire Company.  Thanks to everyone that participated and attended to make this year's event as successful as it was!
