The Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum displayed merchandise at this show in an effort to gather funds. All proceeds from sales at the NASFL Museum booth will benefit our Museum. This booth was courtesy of Florida East Coast Collector, Inc. which organized this event for its second year. Thank you to volunteers: Debbie Hamilton, Sue Presley, Angela Piraino, Minerva Bloom, John Casey and Forrest King for helping with the set-up & public relations!

This military show showcased battle re-enactments, civil war, World War I and World War II military encampment on grounds, military vehicles and motorcycles, live gatling gun shoot and civil war cannon fire.  See you next year!

The NAS Fort Lauderdale Museum had a large exhibit at the War Memorial Auditorium, courtesy of Florida East Coast Collector, Inc. We brought in several mannequins, vintage photograph displays about the Naval base and Port Everglades during WWII, poster boards relating to the history of the Museum, Flight 19 videos and NASFL memorabilia. We met many attendees who were very interested in our exhibit. Some of them remembered going to high-school at the naval base, and others (or their relatives) had been stationed at the base. It was a good exchange, as they were able to connect once again with their history. We received a very positive feedback and everyone enjoyed hanging around our booth. Thank you to our volunteers: Allan McElhiney, Debbie Hamilton, Russell Liddick, Fran Scheffler, John & Minerva Bloom, Dorothy Riser, Karl Bork & Mai Hibler, John Casey and David Epstein.

If you are interested in having a presentation of WWII History and the Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale at your School, Institution or Event contact the Museum. We have a traveling exhibit (smaller than this booth) with fold-out boards, memorabilia and videos as well as volunteer staff to do the presentation. Please let us know in advance so we can make preparations.

The NASFL Museum will be able to attend this show. We will have a large, spacious booth with WWII memorabilia displays, signed books and calendars, vintage merchandise and historic photographs. COME VISIT US!

"OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY" is the theme of this unique and exciting exhibition of extraordinary museum quality historical artifacts. Leading dealers who have devoted most of their lives to discovering and identifying these treasures, which up to now have largely found homes only in private collections and national institutions, will offer their items for sale to the general public.
