Apollo 8 Astronauts Coming to Heritage Flight Museum

BURLINGTON, WA-  The Heritage Flight Museum is hosting a Once in a Lifetime Opportunity fundraiser called “An Evening with Apollo 8.” 

Imagine hearing the story of the Apollo 8 mission from the men who flew it…According to information released on the Heritage Flight Museum website, the Apollo program ignited a fire of passion, innovation and ingenuity that propelled us into space and culminated in the US being first to the moon. Before the lunar landing though, came all the other “firsts”… first to fly the Saturn V, first to leave Earth orbit, first to orbit another celestial body… those firsts were achieved by Apollo 8; by Frank Borman, Jim Lovell & Bill Anders. It’s been nearly a decade since they gathered publicly to share their story, and this could be the last time they gather to tell it again.

 

An Evening with Apollo 8  is a fundraising event to support the Heritage Flight Museum.  David Hartman, journalist and actor, will be the evenings  moderator. The evening includes a reception with appetizers, dinner and dessert.

The Skagit County Commissioners are commemorating this incredible day by declaring May 14th as ‘Apollo 8 Day’ in Skagit County– don’t miss your chance to be a part of history.

Tickets go on sale February 22, so mark your calendars now! Note: Fly in Parking will be available for those who travel from outside the area.
