> Q: What’s Take Flight for Kids?
> A: Our THIRD ANNUAL massive community festival at San Jose Reid Hillview Airport, bringing together accessible activities, STEM science/tech/engineering/math, exotic animals, exotic cars, robots, great food, live entertainment, tons of community services, fire trucks, police cars, radio controlled helicopters, you name it, we’re doing it! The whole point is to get underserved kids exposed to STEM in a fun and entertaining hands-on way. Basically imagine a free version of M*ker F*aire, with an additional big aviation component and that’s what we’re shooting for….
> 
> Q: Where is this going to be held?
> A: San Jose Reid Hillview Airport, 2500 Cunningham Ave, San Jose. Across the street from Lake Cunningham, and very close to Eastridge Mall.
> 
> Q: Wasn't this event going to be at Moffett Field?
> A: Yup, originally. But construction delays at NASA's Moffett Field forced us to move back to Reid Hillview Airport for a 3rd great year. But that’s ok, Reid Hillview is an awesome location for such events.
> 
> Q: What kind of crowds do you expect to join you?
> A: 5000-10000 people total. Families from all over the Bay Area, especially Silicon Valley. We're targeting middle school youth, especially 'underserved youth', youth with disabilities, at risk youth, etc.
> 
> Q: I heard something about free airplane rides?
> A: We have offered limited free airplane rides for young people in past years. Unfortunately, insurance changes prevent us from offering free airplane flights to young people this year. BUT we expect several dozen pilots to give tours of their aircraft, so we will have a heavy aviation/aeronautics emphasis.
> 
> Q: What's the cost of being an exhibitor?
> A: FREE. Space is provided no charge.
> 
> Q: What should I bring?
> A: If you have a table/chairs + tent, please bring them. Otherwise we'll have a limited number of tables to loan.
> 
> Q: What kind of things should we exhibit?
> A: The sky's the limit. Hands-on is much better than static displays. Our most popular booths have involved paper airplanes, DYI art, crafts, exercise demos, that sort of thing. Target middle school youth and you'll do great!
> 
> Any other questions? Reply to this email. Otherwise, please register to exhibit with us in our 3rd great year. You'll be glad you did.
> 
> Hope to see you Saturday September 25, 9am-5pm. Please register online if you want to reserve a (free) booth. http://www.takeflightforkids.com/vendor.htm
