Mandan Regional Airport-Lawler Field (KY19) near Bismarck, North Dakota, will hold its seventh annual Props and Hops fundraiser next Thursday (October 5). Taking place from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., the event will support advanced pilot and advanced maintenance technician scholarships named for two recently passed local aviators, Darrel Pittman and Mark Sunby. The funds will help aspiring pilots and technicians earn their licenses as they begin their aviation careers.

“Darrel and Mark were avid aviators for our Bismarck/Mandan community,” said selection committee member Brandon Leingang. “They gave their time, money, and knowledge to help others learn and grow in this industry. We could not think of a better way to honor their memory than by continuing their legacy of helping others in aviation.”

The event, which will be open to the public, will feature locally brewed craft beer, ribs from chef Roby Boehm, live music, and a silent auction. Props & Hops was organized to showcase the benefits the airport brings to the community and raise funds for aviation-related causes. Since its inception, the Props & Hops selection committee has donated more than $50,000 to selected recipients.
