Our event will once again be held at the Oshkosh Elks Lodge, 175 West Fernau Ave, in Oshkosh, on Thursday, July 28. As always we have very comfortable seating, our own private bar, award winning food, and door prizes! The full bar will open at 5:30 PM for people that would like to come and relax early. Dinner starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets are available at the door for $20 per person. On the menu this year will be the Elks Lodge specialty, Pineapple Rum Glazed Ham and Broasted Chicken with all the trimmings.

We have made one important change to this year's banquet. You won't have to pre-purchase your tickets! You will be able to just come to the banquet and pay at the door! All credit cards will be accepted. We did this because we want to keep the costs down and keep the price the same. This will help us save money on tickets, PayPal, postage, and it will help the Zenith employees on the field by letting them do what they do best - show airplanes! Just come to the banquet and pay at the door! Brochures about the banquet will be at the Zenith tent or you can get one at backstagelive@gmail.com.

Everyone have a very safe and wonderful trip to Oshkosh. If I can be your Oshkosh connection for anything please call me at 920-237-1450 or e-mail me at backstagelive@gmail.com and I can help.

EAA Zenith Showplane Parking

Zenith showplane parking will be just north of the Homebuilders center on the flight line in its usual place across from the Zenith factory display. Please follow the NOTAMS instructions for signage for parking, and add another sign that says "ZENITH". When you get near the parking area flagmen will help get you to the location requested. Most of the parking volunteers know what Zenith airplanes look like, but any extra signage helps! Once your aircraft is parked, EAA's policy is no engine operations in the parking area and the aircraft will need to be pushed to the east of the safety line for engine start. If you are anticipating demonstrating or flying any of the aircraft during the convention, park your aircraft as close to the flightline as you can.

Accommodations

The Oshkosh Elks Lodge has a very large parking area and they are offering motor home parking for $10 per night for anyone coming to the banquet before coming to the EAA, or if you need overnight accommodations for after the banquet. For more information please call me at 920-237-1450 or E-mail me at backstagelive@gmail.com to make reservations. Electrical spots are available on a first come basis.
