Santa’s Letters, Recipes Can Win Gift Certificates
By Rose KowaliwFlying has a truly magical quality.
If you’ve ever flown in a small plane, you know the feeling of freedom that only flying can give. In fact, most people learn to fly for the excitement and adventure of doing something amazing and new.
Green River Aviation and Flight Center, founded in 1996, is located at Dillant Hopkins Airport in North Swanzey. Ed Appel is the manager and runs the repair shop, while his wife, Lisa, the “silent partner,” owns 50 percent of the business.
Green River Aviation And Flight Center: Come Fly With Me
The Monadnock Shopper News’ annual Santa’s Letters contest and Holiday Recipe contest are now underway.
Children are invited to submit their letters to Santa to this publication. Letters will be printed and forwarded to Santa at the North Pole. In addition, two children will be chosen to receive $10 gift certificates
from any Monadnock Shopper News’ advertiser. The deadline for the contest is Thursday, December 8th. Letters may be e-mailed to [email protected], faxed to 603-357-9351, or mailed to The Monadnock Shopper News, PO Box 487, Keene, NH 03431.
