Oshkosh

Today we head up to oshkosh for the 2012 EAA Airventure.  For those of you who have never heard of OshKosh or the EAA Airventure check out http://airventure.org/.

 Here are some of the facts I found on wikipedia.

• It is estimated that 10,000–15,000 aircraft visit OshKosh during the EAA airventure.
• About 300,000-500,000 seperate people visit OshKosh during the EAA airventure.
• More than 4,000 volunteers contribute approximately 250,000 hours before, during and after the event
• Approximately 1,100 portable toilets are supplied for the event, and EAA estimates that more than 2 million sheets of toilet paper are used (you probably didn't want to know that.)

 All that to say that this is a huge event. Our organization has a presence here every year along with many other mission organizations. This year there are over 200 representatives from different missions. Kars will be helping man a booth, being the face of our organization, who many people have never heard of.
