Hello Everyone,

It's time to get out the banquet and forum information to you all. We are late with this because much of the grounds at EAA are being changed and remodeled. In fact as we speak EAA volunteers and construction workers are putting the final touch on the new EAA 50th anniversary grounds.

Our event will be held at the Oshkosh Elks Lodge, 175 West Fernau Ave, in Oshkosh, on Thursday, July 25th. We have very comfortable seating for over 250 people, our own private bar, and award winning food! The full bar will open at 5:30 PM for people that would like to come and relax early. Dinner starts at 7:00 PM. Tickets are available for $20 per person at the door by cash or credit card. Banquet information is also available at the Zenith display. As always, bring your camera and get a picture of the special dessert! If you would like to park your camping vehicle at the Elks for any number of nights, please call me at 920-237-1450 or E-mail me at backstagelive@gmail.com to make motorhome and camper parking reservations.

Zenith show plane parking will not be available this year due to site changes. This is only a one year change and things will go back to normal next year. Because this is the 50th anniversary of EAA, the parking committee is using the spot we had for classic homebuilt parking and some warbirds. Next year we can once again have a designated spot just for us.

The new Zenith aircraft booths will be located in the brand new North Aircraft Display area. And we have the two best booths on the site! (booth 601 & 611) Go to EAA on the web and get the new site map downloaded to you smart phone for easy access to the convention grounds.

HERE IS HOW YOU GET THE BROCHURE AND POSTER!

Please send me an E-mail to backstagelive@gmail.com and I will send you the brochure and poster. Brochures will also be available at the Zenith airplane booth. There are an incredible number of great forums both for Zenith and other companies and government groups. I added a few you may like on the brochure. You can also download the EAA App on your Smartphone, which I recommend.

See you at the banquet and have a safe and fun trip. As always, I am your Oshkosh connection if you need anything. See you soon.
