The second annual Aviators Ball repeated the success of last year’s inaugural event, organized by the Student Veteran Organization and held at Penn College’s Lumley Aviation Center at the Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville.
Among events toasting out the academic year, the semi-formal affair featured games, music, photo ops, food and Wildcat connections.
As with last year, Sigma Pi fraternity pitched in with a music D.J. and added to the all-around revelry. A night on the town (or tarmac) never looked so good!
The second annual Aviators Ball is a rousing success at Penn College's Lumley Aviation Center.
