2013 EAA, Another Great Year for Zenith
A huge thank you to everyone that came to the Zenith banquet at EAA this
year! We had 173 builders from all over the world attend. If you would like
to see pictures of the event and pictures of the Zenith display, you can
Facebook me at "Joe Scheibinger", go to my pictures, and click on EAA
Convention 2013.
We will be having the banquet for 2014 in the same location, the Oshkosh
Elks Lodge. They supply great food, a very large and very clean facility
that can handle over 350 people, with ample parking.
Besides the door prizes provided by aviation companies, some of the Zenith
builders purchased gun raffle tickets from the Elks Lodge from a fundraiser
that was going on in the other room. So many builders bought tickets that
the Elks decided to hold the drawing during our banquet. 2 lucky Zenith
builders won guns valued at $400 each!
One of the exciting thing being developed for 2014 will be the construction
of a Zenith airplane in 7 days during the convention. With that in mind, I
would like to get some suggestions from you as to how we can make the
banquet better and raise more awareness for the Zenith company on the EAA
grounds.
I would like to find out how many people would like to bring their planes to
Oshkosh in 2014 and plan a mass arrival. The New Holstein airport features
concrete runways, a large parking area, and is only about 12 miles from
Oshkosh from the East. We would need volunteers with experience in loose
formation flight to help organize and give safe instruction. I can supply
the set up work with the EAA. It would be fun to see 30 or 40 or more
Zeniths on the field like we had 2 years ago, and a mass arrival adds to the
fun and excitement, and it adds great promotional value to the Zenith brand.
If you are interested, or you have suggestions for 2014, please E-mail me at
backstagelive(at)gmail.com. I will share all ideas with Sebastien. 2014 is
going to be a great year again for Zenith at EAA. Thanks again everyone for
your help.

Joe,
Thanks for all your efforts in putting together the Zenith Banquet. This was the first time I attended and it was fun to put faces on some of the people I've met on this discussion group and others.
One suggestion --- for the main program of the evening, rather than hearing just from folks with commercial interests, it would be great to put something together showcasing the flying adventures of actual builders. Those of us who are still building need to see what awaits them when they finish their airplanes and actually take to the air.
Tim
