4th Pre-OSH Fly-In Pool Party
Each year since we opened in 2002, we have hosted a "Pre-Oshkosh Fly-In Pool Party", where we serve free food, drink, and music -- all at poolside -- to pilots and enthusiasts en route to Airventure in Oshkosh.
The next morning we all fly into Oshkosh together, sometimes in loose formation, sometimes separately -- but the goal is to get parked there somewhat together so that the party may continue. It's always a great time!
This year we cooked many pounds of brats, burgers, and corn on the cob, and served a barrel of fantastic beer from Old Capitol Brew Works -- our favorite local microbrewery -- to dozens of guests and visitors.
Here are some pix from that day:
