Feathers are about to fly (figuratively) at the Hiller Aviation Museum! The Turkey Toss happens on Wednesday, November 27, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.. We’re paying tribute to one of the most “fowl”-proof TV moments of all time—the legendary 1978 WKRP in Cincinnati “Turkeys Away” episode—with a Thanksgiving twist sure to have you gobbling with laughter.
In the words of WKRP’s Arthur Carlson, “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!” But don’t worry—we’ll be dropping squeezable, soft turkey toys from a helicopter, so you and your family can enjoy a drop that’s all fun, no feathers! These toy turkeys are ready to take the plunge (not the plumage) as a lighthearted nod to the iconic sitcom episode. Kids will get to collect these mini turkeys as keepsakes to take home.
And the Turkey Toss joins a beak tradition of fun-filled holiday events at the Hiller Aviation Museum. After all, we’ve been known to drop pumpkins from a witch’s helicopter on Halloween, parachute a skydiving leprechaun on St. Patrick’s Day, and even fly in Santa by chopper! This Thanksgiving-themed event is sure to be another plucking good time for the whole family.
The Turkey Toss isn’t the only thing that will have you craning your neck! All day long, families can participate in the great Turkey Hunt inside the museum. With turkeys hidden throughout the exhibits, you’ll have to spread your wings and explore to find them all and win some fun prizes. It’s a great chance for everyone to enjoy a wing-span of activities, learn about aviation, and have a quacking good time.
So, come flock to the Hiller Aviation Museum for a Thanksgiving kickoff that’s truly the cream of the crop in family fun. Let’s make this a holiday to remember with plenty of laughs, prizes, and “aero-dynamic” turkey drops. We’ll see you there—fowl play is encouraged!
