PEORIA -- From a news release:
"The third annual PEACE AIR SHOW, sponsored by the Peoria Area Peace Network and Food Not Bombs, will take place Saturday, July 23, 2011, 3:00 pm, at Constitution Park, (foot of Morton St., on the riverfront).
We hold this family friendly event in response to the Peoria Prairie Air Show which is used as a recruiting tool for the military.
That air show glamorizes and sanitizes the military and the fighter jets. It also ignores the human, economical and environmental toll that is taken in war and to make and use the fighter jets.
The Peoria Area Peace Network wants to give people alternatives to the mostly military air show by flying kites along the riverfront. Join us, bring a kite or use one of ours. Cold drinks will be provided by Food Not Bombs."
Here's the Facebook page for the event.
