USU Wright Flyer to be displayed on Quad

Utah State University’s Wright Flyer, the space-age replica of the Wright brothers’ historic plane, will be on display for this year’s Aggie Family Day on the Quad, Saturday, Sept. 27, from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.

Aggie Family Day is free and open to the public. Parents are encouraged to bring the whole family.

“The event is the perfect family activity before an Aggie football game,” said event organizer Scott Olson, the USU Alumni Association’s director of major events.

In addition to the Wright Flyer, provided by the College of Engineering, there will be a hunter safety demonstration sponsored by the College of Natural Resources. Both children and adults can enjoy the College of Science’s bug collection, and Aggie pride can be shown with the College of Education’s face painting.

A climbing wall and large inflatable slide will also be provided by the Alumni Association.

A meal of hamburgers, chips and drinks, provided by the Utah State Parents Association, will be available for $1.

The Aggie football game against the University of Louisiana-Monroe follows at 6 p.m. in Romney Stadium. Call 797-0305 for game ticket information.
