In February, Act 4 Books, Perry, N.Y., hosted Paper Airplane Weekends, inviting airborne-inclined patrons to "bring your best paper plane skills (or fold one in-store!) and see how far you can fly. How it works:
- Planes must be made of paper
- Bring your own or make one here
- Each pilot gets 3 throws per day (same plane or different ones)
- Start at the front door with feet on the first black mat
- Distance is measured front-to-back of the store (no diagonals!)
- If the shop is busy, pilots may need to wait their turn"
In anticipation of the final session last Saturday, bookshop posted: "Paper airplanes are still flying. Come, fold, fling and win!"
