Tour & Lunch at Iconic Flying A building

Villagers and guests gathered at the iconic Flying A building, a cherished Niles landmark known for its rich history and for providing a gathering space for automotive enthusiasts. The event began with a guided tour, offering attendees a glimpse into the building’s vintage architecture and storied past as a bustling service station.

Following the tour, Villagers enjoyed a nostalgic 1950s-themed lunch. The gathering not only celebrated local history but also provided a lively space for community connections.
