It's the Week of Thanksgiving and the 

Virginia Air & Space Center wants to help out 

with your Holiday Meal!

Start your holiday season off right by winning a FREE turkey at Downtown Hampton on Ice! at the Virginia Air & Space Center. Visitors will have the chance to take home a FREE turkey by participating in our 2^nd Annual Turkey Bowl, Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Participants will use a turkey to bowl on the ice in hopes of knocking down the ten Coca-Cola bottles at the end of the rink. Guests must knock down all bottles to win a turkey, for those who don’t, other great prizes will be awarded.

Special Thanks to Food Lion!

Opens November 18!
