How To Stay Cool At Air Show

The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will rock the 2011 Vectren Dayton Air Show this weekend. However, temperatures will be a bit on the warm side, so organizers are working to keep spectators safe.

Air Show officials said the National Weather Service is predicting that temperatures will be at or near average for the air show.

Show chairman Michael Emoff said, "This is awesome news. We are pleased to hear that temperatures will be moderating somewhat for the show."

Organizers offered the following tips to keep air show fans cool:

* Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water before, during and after the show. Remember that there will be three free water stations on site. * Frequent the show's increased concession stands. * Don't forget the SPF. Apply sunscreen often. * Dress for the weather. Choose light colored, loose fitting clothing. * Shield yourself. Sunglasses and hats are recommended. Small personal umbrellas are permitted as long as they do not obstruct the view of others. * Shade is key to staying cool. While most of the show's premium seating areas have sold out, there are a limited amount of umbrella tables still available in the LaRosa's Pavilion for Sunday's show.

Due to public health and safety concerns, the following items are prohibited from being carried on to show grounds:

* No Coolers - small soft-sided coolers are permitted to carry baby formula or medicine * No Loose Ice * No Cans or glass - clear, plastic water bottles are permitted to be carried in * No Alcohol * No Pets * No Weapons * No Tents or awnings * No Cooking Equipment
