Pickens County Meals on Wheels announces the 4th Annual Wings and Wheels for Meals.

The event will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pickens County Airport in Liberty. This event has a track record as a proven community favorite, and this year promises to be another day of fun for the entire family. Attractions will include:

Airplane and Helicopter Rides- Fixed wing aircraft and helicopter will be on hand to offering event-goers a bird’s eye view of Pickens County. In addition, an open cockpit, bi-wing Steerman will be available for those seeking an aviation experience akin to early years of aviation.
