Power Planter for Civil Air Patrol Raffle

Blooming Rails was happy to put together this beautiful "Power Planter" for the Civil Air Patrol.

On Father's Day each year, the Woodfield Composite Squadron holds a raffle at the EAA Chapter 153 pancake breakfast at Schaumburg Airport.

This year they asked Blooming Rails if we had something that could be added to the raffle to help support it's ongoing efforts in Cadet Programs, Aerospace Education, and Emergency Services. Intrigued by the idea, we could think of nothing better than a one of a kind power planter with an aviation theme. As you can see, the prize we created is rich with vibrant color. It is a living plant meant to be outside on the patio, balcony or deck to brighten your spirit. It stands 3 1/2 feet tall and is about 2 feet wide. Named the "Aviators Dream Planted Flower Container", we added four miniature die-cast airplanes to match the theme of the occasion.

It was a joy see the reaction when we delivered this planter to the winner, and to be able to support the Civil Air Patrol efforts. We encourage others to contact the 
Woodfield Composite Squadron to join in or become a corporate sponsor.
