This week, I visited the Meet a Machine event that took place at Augusta Regional Airport. It’s an opportunity for children to view, interact with and sometimes climb on all manner of big machines like helicopters, fire trucks and airplanes. All of proceeds go directly to the Children’s Hospital of Georgia’s Children’s Miracle Network.
