Hi Everyone!
Here is an update on the festivities for the "Zeniths to Oshkosh" builders
banquet and aircraft parking for the 2014 Oshkosh EAA Convention.
The Banquet
The banquet will once again be held at the Elks Lodge in Oshkosh. This
beautiful facility served us well last year and is expandable for our
growing Zenith family. We have very comfortable seating for over 250 people,
our own private bar, and award winning food. The banquet will be held on
Friday, August 1st, 2014. The bar will open at 5:30 and dinner starts at
7:30. Tickets are available for $20 per person. On the menu this year will
be the Elks Lodge specialty, Pineapple Rum Glazed Ham and Broasted Chicken,
buttered parsley potatoes, green beans, and all the trimmings! Once again
this year there will be a very special surprise dessert so make sure you
bring your camera, and don't forget all the great aviation door prizes!
Pre-convention Banquet Tickets Available
The banquet will be held at the Elks Lodge, 175 Fernau Ave, Oshkosh, WI. The
Lodge is very easy to find. There will be maps and tickets available at the
Zenith display just like in previous years. If you would like your tickets
sent to you along with the map, there are two ways to receive your tickets.
You can mail a check for $20 per person to Joe Scheibinger, Zenith Banquet,
2809 Scenic Drive, Oshkosh, WI 54904, or you can use PayPal and send the
money to backstagelive(at)gmail.com. Your tickets will be sent in the mail 2
weeks before the convention. Buying advance tickets helps the Zenith staff
save time and sell airplanes, and it also gives us a better way to estimate
the number of people attending.
EAA Zenith Showplane Parking
Zenith showplane parking will be just north of the Homebuilders center on
the flight line in its usual place. Please place a sign in your window
indicating "HOMEBUILT PARKING - ZENITH." When they get near the parking area
flagmen will help get you to the location requested. 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. EAA will not be using the commercial demo ride operation parking area
as they did last year.
Accommodations
The Oshkosh Elks Lodge has a very large parking area. they are offering
motor home and trailer parking for $20 per night for anyone coming to the
banquet before coming to the EAA, or for people leaving the convention on
Friday. 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(at)gmail.com to make reservations. Some electrical spots are
available on a first come first served basis.
What's Needed?
We could use some volunteers for the event. We will need 3 volunteers to
come to the banquet early and help make sure everything is working smoothly,
and to work the registration table. If possible, Also, I would like to have
volunteers who are knowledgeable with the Zenith Company to escort invited
EAA dignitaries.
Contact Information
Seeing that I live in Oshkosh, I would be more than happy to help you with
anything you need to make your stay in Oshkosh the best ever. If you need
any more information on the banquet, camping, special foods, lodging, etc,
please call me directly at 920-237-1450 or E-mail me at
backstagelive(at)gmail.com.
