Perrin Air Force Base Museum reports completed F‑86 restoration, announces scholarships and 85th anniversary event
Summary
The Perrin Air Force Base Museum told the CVB Advisory Board the grant‑funded restoration of an outdoor F‑86 display is complete (final cost $3,300) and announced two scholarships for veterans plus an 85th‑anniversary celebration planned for Nov. 7.
The Perrin Air Force Base Museum reported to the City of Denison CVB Advisory Board that a grant‑funded restoration and repainting of an outdoor F‑86 display has been completed. The museum representative said the project was bid locally, the team negotiated costs and the final invoice was $3,300 — $250 under the original $3,550 request — and that the multi‑step refinishing and power‑washing work was finished and billed upon completion.
The museum representative invited board members to a related set of events: the museum will mark the 85th anniversary of Perrin Field on Nov. 7 and said it will award two scholarships on Aug. 25 to veterans pursuing commercial‑pilot training through regional programs. "Our project is finished. It looks great. I think it's a good representation for our community," the museum representative said, noting the museum is handling an endowment to fund the scholarships. Board members asked no substantive follow‑up questions; the item was recorded as a report.
