Airport board member Fred Pond!!!

On June 7, 2026, the 5th Grade D.A.R.E. essay winners from Van Wert, Lincolnview, and Crestview schools were recognized for their outstanding essays and commitment to the D.A.R.E. program. As a special reward for their achievement, the students enjoyed a plane ride around Van Wert County, giving them a unique opportunity to see their community from above and celebrate their hard work and success.

A special thank you goes to Fred Pond for generously donating his time, aircraft, and expertise to provide this unforgettable experience. His willingness to fly the students and share the excitement of aviation helped create lasting memories for these deserving young people.

The Van Wert County D.A.R.E. program is proud of these students and their accomplishments and extends its appreciation to everyone who helped make this memorable experience possible.
