Santa Claus Came to Down!

Cloud 9 Aviation welcomed Santa and Mrs. Claus into the Prattville Airport for the 3rd year on Sunday, Dec 1st. This fundraiser was to benefit the Family Support Center and over $700 was raised for this amazing charity. Their scheduled landing was at 1:15 and about 80 excited children and their parents jumped and screamed to alert Santa that this was where they needed to stop.

While waiting inside for the big arrival, the children enjoyed an assortment of snacks and games and even decorated an ornament to take home. About 20 minutes after Santa and Mrs. Claus landed, another pilot made the radio call to come in for a landing and we were all in for a treat when the Grinch and Cindy-Lou Who disembarked. After a few pranks, mean Mr. Grinch’s heart grew and he handed out mini replicas of himself to the children.

Special thanks to our wonderful pilots, Paul Davis and Joshua Cuevas for flying our guests in, to The Sweet Hook-up for bringing her fair foods food truck, to Tricia Tyus for so many of the photos, and to the many volunteers that helped make this Christmas magic happen!
