LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 36th annual Clear Lake Splash In arrives in Lakeport this weekend.
Almost two dozen planes will be on display at Natural High School, 810 N. Main St. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Meet with and talk to the pilots of these great flying machines which have traveled from around California – from San Diego to Chico and many cities in between – as well as from Phoenix, Las Vegas and other locations in Nevada.
A contingent will do a flyover at the beginning of the Kelseyville Pear Festival Parade at approximately 9:20 a.m.
They will also conduct some water bombing and spot landing exercises offshore of Library Park beginning at 2 p.m.
The Clear Lake Modelers Club will have some of their planes on display in the school building. They also will be demonstrating the building of a model plane in that room. There will be food available during the day.
For those wishing to take a ride in a seaplane, there will be two planes available for that purpose. Information will be available at the admission gate at the field.
Admission to the field is $3 per person for ages 13 and up. Proceeds will be used to pay the rent for the use of the grounds and the insurance coverage.
The splash in is produced by the Lake County Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the city of Lakeport, the county of Lake and the Lakeport Main Street Association.
