On this Valley Business Today edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down at Winchester Regional Airport with Top of Virginia Regional Chamber Director of Events Kaleigh Fincham and Airport Executive Director Nick Sabo to talk about the return of Wings & Wheels on Saturday, October 3rd — a free, family-friendly day of aircraft, classic cars, music, food trucks, and a vendor market on the tarmac. The conversation digs into what's coming back, what's getting bigger and better (improved flow, more music, fly-in traffic for pilots), how sponsorship works at every budget level, and why this event is more than fun — it's a workforce-development moment connecting kids to aviation careers and showing the community what the newly-rebuilt airport has to offer year-round. Plus, a heartfelt send-off as Kaleigh announces she's leaving the chamber to grow her family's event business, The Ivy Collective.
