There will be fun for all ages this weekend at the 44th annual Three Forks Fly In.
The event hosted by the Montana Antique Aircraft Association is scheduled for Friday, August 6, and Saturday, August 7, at the Three Forks Airport.
According to Pat Greene, the 2021 Fly in will have a People's Choice award, and there will not be airplane judging. Green said a kiosk will be placed in front of the administration so those in attendance can vote on their favorite airplane

A ping pong ball drop is scheduled at Saturday at 1:30 p.m. for kids age three to 13. This will be followed by flour drop and spot landing contests at 2 p.m.
