World's Smallest Airport - The True Story of The Thrasher Brothers Aeria...

Please attend the screening of this amazing documentary at the Sanctuary located at 2nd and Barnett Shoals in Watkinsville Saturday at 7:00 pm and consider eating at Kumquat Mae restaurant before hand as they are donating 10% of the proceeds to the Team 6 of Athens Dancing with the Stars. This film is about the infancy of aerial performances in the Northeast Georgia area, especially Elberton. This is a fascinating look back at the barnstorming days post World War II. This film was shot by Matt Gennaro with help from Grady Thrasher whose father is the rather fascinating focus of this film about an airplane mounted on top of a car and the shows around the Southeast. The funds raised go toward Project Safe in the name of Dave Shearon and Elissa Bacso of Team 6. They will be competing in the latest competition of Dancing with the Athens Stars April 1st at the Classic Center against the likes of Barbara Dooley, Bob Smith, and many others.
