Wild Brew Yonder ~ Vertical Challenge

Wild Brew Yonder ~ Friday Evening June 20 ~ 6pm-9pm

Here is your chance for a perfect date night with food, drinks and a one-of-a-kind show, all for less than your average dinner bill for two.

Welcome to Wild Brew Yonder - Twilight Helicopter Air Show and Microbrew Fest. This is a rare and exclusive opportunity to enjoy the products of three local microbrewers; Firehouse Brewery, Steelhead Brewery and Devil's Canyon Brewery. You will enjoy a scrumptious food buffet while watching a spectacular twilight helicopter show. This is your chance for a private sneak peek at the helicopters performing at Vertical Challenge the next day including the fully aerobatic Red Bull helicopter.

Space is limited so hurry and purchase your tickets now for an event you'll be talking about for a long time. Wild Brew Yonder tickets are $60 per person ($50 for museum members). Call 650-654-0200x215 to order or stop by the museum gift shop. Tickets on sale through June 16 and will not be sold at the door.

Vertical Challenge ~ Helicopter Air Show ~ Saturday, June 21 ~ 9am-5pm

Helicopter Rule #1 – Don't fly upside down – But Red Bull doesn't pay attention to the rules!

Chuck Aaron and the Red Bull high performance aerobatic helicopter will fly sideways, backwards and yes, UPSIDE DOWN! The only helicopter in the United States certified to perform aerobatics will make its only Northern California Air Show stop on June 21 at the Vertical Challenge Helicopter Air Show at the Hiller Aviation Museum on the Peninsula in San Carlos .
Vertical Challenge features demonstrations from the U.S. Coast Guard, Cal Fire (the same crew that just fought the Summit Fire in Santa Cruz ), Sheriff's Dept. and the famous ShowCopters. Another great opportunity at Vertical Challenge is helicopter rides. This is the one time most people get a chance to go up in a helicopter, and these rides sell out quickly.

New this year is the Kids Zone with slides, jumps, rides, face-painting and more, all included with show admission.

Vertical Challenge welcomes returning sponsors Bell Helicopter, Toyota 101, Robinson Helicopter, Golden Gate Helicopters, Airship Ventures and Red Bull with their fully aerobatic Bolkow BO-105 and the Red Bull Elite Freeflying Parachute Team.

This year's show will be Saturday June 21, 2008 9am-5pm. Vertical Challenge tickets are $17, $10 Seniors (65+) and Youth (5-17). For more info please call (650) 654-0200 or visit www.hiller.org
