John Glenn's Transcontinental Speed Record and Buzzard Sunday Turn 63 Years Old This Year!

BRUNSWICK, Ohio - Feb. 26, 2020 - PRLog -- In 1957, the same year John Glenn Jr. became the first pilot to average supersonic speed flying between New York City and Los Angeles in just three hours and twenty-three minutes, Hinckley, Ohio celebrated its first Buzzard Day.

Western Reserve Plumbing, Borden Dairy, Pam Rybka/ReMax and other local sponsors are providing material and manpower resources, which have helped the Hinckley Chamber of Commerce add a third One-Thousand Dollar scholarship for Hinckley residents.  Chamber Sponsors volunteering hundreds of man hours to set up the event include S&S Heating & Cooling, DMK Party Rentals, Precision Market Services, Ackmera Custom Apparel, Hinckley Women's Club, Millennium Rehabilitation, Minnehaha Water Outlet, and AAA Medina.
