We can’t be more excited for this year’s 40th Annual Windsor Chamber Cares Auction as it’ll be held at the wonderful New England Air Museum just a stone’s throw away at 36 Perimeter Road,
Windsor Locks. Among the awesome airplanes, there’s so much to see and take in, and of course, we’ll have our spectacular auction items from the favored Photo Safari Trip for Two in South Africa.
40th Annual Windsor Cares Auction
Over the past 40 years we’ve had exceptional experiences with the auction. Donations from our local businesses and services have been much anticipated – from Dom’s foods, to Jordan’s flowers or wreaths, special dinner trips, museums trips, hair stylings, incredibly wonderful baskets filled with goodies, wines and so much more. This year we’ll be pulling up our landing gear with the addition of having the festivities taking place at the New England Air Museum – a perfect venue for the hearty, fun-at-heart, and those ready to mingle with friends, business associates and dedicated volunteers.
About the New England Air Museum
The facilities are spread out over three hangers and multiple floors. There are exhibits, a restoration hanger, and flight simulators, along with a small dining area with vending machines offering snacks and beverages. There are also picnic tables in the outside yard available in fair weather.
The museum’s collection includes the following types of aircraft: B-29s (Boeing) Superfortress, Lockheed F104C Starfighter, Sikorsky VS44A Excambian, a Goodyear Control car, and more. Select cockpits can be opened based on docent availability and discretion. Open cockpits are an additional experience that may not always be available. The aircraft are historical artifacts, and as such, cannot always withstand the traffic of an open cockpit experience. We do have a selection of model cockpits that are located throughout the Museum and can be accessed without docent assistance.
We’re thrilled to take this year’s Auction to new heights – it’s going to be a fun and interesting event.
