2023 Oshkosh RV Social
Monday July 24th
1366 WEST WAUKAU AVENUE
Starts When The Airshow Gets Boring (Let's call it 4 o'clock)
Ends When The Kegs Run Dry
Yes, it's on! The old sot staggered up from the basement and declared herself ready to party, assuming she could find some clean underwear...
Same place as last year, same time...Monday evening, first official show day, in the backyard of the second house just outside the Waukau Ave EAA gate. We'll open the taps at 4 o'clock, as last year everyone seemed to like the earlier start.
The Beer Fairy drank all her own money, so this doesn't happen without the support of vendors who love you. For the 11th time, Gallagher Aerospace is our location host. The Gallagher Gang will be in the big tent all week with refreshments and shade, plus they're hosting their own event on Wednesday evening. You're invited then too, so stop by and say thanks. It is the best place in the world to get answers to airplane insurance questions.
And now, drum roll please...here are the folks to thank. Many have sponsored the event for more than a decade, so please, show 'em some love in return!

Now for The Usual Serious Message: Be responsible. Keep an eye on your buddy. Walk or elect a designated driver. Make sure all your people get home safe.
Slap on a name tag when you arrive; the goal is to put faces with names. You'll find them on the picnic table. Social rules are the same as VAF rules; keep it civil, and keep it RV. We'll have plenty of water and soft drinks for the no-hops folks. If you want food, grab something on the way, or try the place next door. Don't toss your cup; keep it for refills! When a tap runs dry, find me and I'll hang another keg; can't connect them all at one time. No parking on site, unless you bring your miniature Harley. No door prize interruption this year. RSVP's are not necessary. And please, as always, everyone try to convince Jenny to dance on the picnic table.
'Nuff said. See you there!
