Spring Fling

During Spring Fling, vendors from the local community and representatives from different services on base, set up booths to talk with attendees about the services they offer. The drunk goggles simulate how vision is impaired while a person is intoxicated and their purpose is to demonstrate the lack of control someone experiences while driving drunk. This year, attendees enjoyed free sloppy joes during the event. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Frank Casciotta)

VANCE AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- More than 500 Team Vance members attended the annual Spring Fling held at the Collocated club April 8.

Each year service organizations from Vance and businesses in the local community set up booths to talk about what services they offer.

Normally, Spring Fling is an indoor and outdoor event, but high winds forced the festivities inside the club.

Attendees enjoyed free sloppy joes while they visited the 21 booths set up by vendors.
