LIVERMORE FALLS — Expect to hear more buzz in the air this weekend as planes and powered parachutes converge on the Bowman Field Airport.
It is the 23rd annual Bowman Field Fly-in at the airport on River Road off Route 133 in the eastern section of town.
Breakfast will be served at 7 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, and Sunday, Aug. 30, Bowman Field Flying Club Treasurer Ken Lyman said Thursday. Supper will be at about 5 p.m. Saturday with a fare that includes baked beans and spaghetti.
There will be a variety of children’s games, a yard sale, antique engine display and all kinds of aircraft, he said.
There will also be candy drops on both afternoons and the concession stand will be open.
On a typical year about 1,000 people pass through the gates, and if the weather is good, they usually have between 75 to 100 aircraft each day, Lyman said.
Among the craft expected are powered parachutes, fixed-wing planes, land planes, float planes and gyroplanes. They’ll start arriving in Friday night.
Airplane rides will also be offered.
“We will be doing a 50/50 raffle and a $100 bombing raffle,” Lyman said.
