A special stuffed cat named "Stuffy," lost by 6-year-old Brayden Eveleth at EAA AirVenture 2023, was successfully reunited with its owner.
Stuffy, a calming, lavender-scented, microwaveable toy and an early birthday gift, held significant sentimental value for Brayden, who was devastated by its loss.
The toy's return was facilitated by a widespread social media campaign, initiated by an EAA volunteer and amplified by the online community and *FLYING* magazine.
