Almost 1,000 joined us for a family night of fun and celebration on New Year's Eve!

New Year's Eve 2008, turned out to be a terrific one for the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City when almost 1,000 Long Islanders turned up for a truly family-oriented fundraiser, featuring live entertainment, IMAX Movies, video games and more. The EGC Group co-produced, coordinated and sponsored the event along with Bethpage Federal Credit Union, National Grid, Motorola, Newsday, Southwest Airlines and the Long Island Radio Group.
 

The night was all about family fun and included interactive children's activities such as crafting, a teen center with video games like "Rock Band" and "DDR," three different IMAX Short films, plus admission into all of the exhibits from both the Cradle of Aviation Museum and the Nassau County Firefighters Museum. Additionally, a group of local middle school performers played holiday favorites for everyone on the Atrium Stage. All this and an unlimited family-friendly Buffet Dinner led to a giant screen simulcast of the Midnight Ball Drop in NYC!
 

Hundreds of adults and their children were amused by Mr. Robb's pantomime comedy, amazed by the sensational aerial action of Spheris, featuring the unbelievable juggling of Greg Kennedy, and awed by the acrobatic strength, ingenuity and precision of the three performers in Galumpha, our finale!
