Hi Everyone,

Things are going very well with the Zeniths to Oshkosh campaign. Almost too
well! So I'm writing to give you some more information. So far, we have
pre-sold about 60 tickets to the Zenith banquet honoring Chris. The reason I
am writing is because in about a week, I will be putting a press release out
to the media that will include information on the banquet. I want to make
sure that each and every builder and enthusiast on this list that will be
coming to Oshkosh has a ticket before they are sold out. We have room for a
very comfortable 200, but we can stretch it to 250 if needed. The factory
will have about 75 tickets to distribute for Monday's EAA, but I have a
feeling those will go very fast! Please let me know if you would like
tickets. You can send me a check for $20 per person and a self addressed
envelope and I will be shipping out the tickets in about 2 weeks. We are up
to 30 showplanes so far! Also, For you folks flying in and would like to park
in the Zenith Showplane Parking, I will have special instructions for you in
about 3 weeks.

Attached is a NOTAM for Oshkosh 2011 in case you are flying in.

Trying to sqeeze another room out of Gruenhagen is impossible. I have a feeling this will be one of the biggest EAA's Oshkosh ever. I have attended every EAA since Oshkosh began and I have never seen hotels sell out this fast! The Oshkosh Visitors Bureau has put together an EAA Housing Hotline. You can go to www.visitoshkosh.com and hit the EAA Housing tab at the far right. They can set you up with accomodations in a private home at a very fair price. If you have a bunch of people as a group, you may want to rent an entire home! A lot of people in Oshkosh plan vacations during Oshkosh and rent their homes for the week!
