Boshears Skyfest

Boshears Skyfest formerly known as the Boshears Memorial Fly–In, is an annual event to honor pioneers of aviation and demonstrate aerial acrobatics in the style of a traditional air–show. The event has grown to incorporate areas of popular interest beyond aviation. NASCAR was a predominate feature of the 2009 Skyfest whereas 2010 highlighted the rise in popularity of Sprint Kart racing.〔(Welcome to the Boshears Memorial Airshow Home Page! )〕〔(Sprint Kart Association Race Promoted At Boshears Skyfest | ''WJBF–TV'' )〕〔(Boshears takes entertainment to the skies | ''The Augusta Chronicle'' )〕〔(Metro Spirit: Quickies - The air up there )〕〔(Overtime | ''The Augusta Chronicle'' )〕
== History ==
The Boshears Skyfest has been an annual event in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) since 1991, with the exception of 2001, because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.〔(The real air show | ''The Augusta Chronicle'' )〕〔(Aviator of the Year )〕 It began as a celebration of general aviation to honor Forrest and Buster Boshears.〔(Boshears Skyfest | ''The Augusta Chronicle'' )〕 The Skyfest is held the third weekend of each October at Daniel Field in Augusta Georgia.
The Boshears Skyfest has become an October staple for the Augusta area, along with the annual county fairs and Halloween. This is perhaps because children are the main target of the commemorative campaign. Brad Kyzer, the chairman of the Skyfest has said "Every kid in Augusta ought to get a chance to see it".〔(10,000 show up for aerial celebration| ''The Augusta Chronicle'' )〕 Each year the Executive Committee of The Boshears Memorial Fly–in, Inc., awards aviation scholarships to selected applicants 16 to 18 years old who express interest in avionics. In 2010 the Committee announced they would hereafter begin accepting applications from 15-year-old applicants as well.〔(2009 Scholarship Information )〕
