We had a special visitor stop by The Landing Pad today! 👋✨

Governor JB Pritzker made a stop in Wilmington to see what the Gemini Giant, The Landing Pad, and our community are all about! 💚

Wilmington Mayor Ben Dietz even sent him home with a Gemini Giant of his very own! 🤩

Thanks for stopping by, Governor Pritzker! We’re always proud to show off a little of what makes Wilmington and Route 66 so special. 🚀💫
