The OHMS Band headlined a Wings Over Batavia Party in Jackson Square on Thursday night, sponsored by Eli Fish Brewing Company.

The organizers of Wings Over Batavia have been ensuring the pilots and flight crews have gotten a chance to enjoy Batavia during their time here, including taking them to locally-owned restaurants for meals and ensuring they get a chance to meet members of the community.

"All the performers I've spoken to tonight said they the community has embraced them," said Doreen Hillard-Zeliff. "They're blown away at how friendly everybody is here and helpful. They're just like shocked, you know. This is three-quarters of their season. They're getting tired by this time of the year and their show circuit. They've only got a few shows left for the year. So, to come to a show like this and have a community embrace them this way is really been wonderful for them."
