Well, our 5th convention is May 18-21, 2007. We have a brand new building on field for seminars. It has his and hers showers for the campers, floor heat. Hope this helps. Think I will even camp this year. (I never get to leave anyway.)
i am still putting the seminars together. Looks like Cris and Helen Fergussen will be giving the fabric seminar again, Ross Carbiener the engine seminar and me, on the owner approved maintainence. There will be plenty more and loads of activities. You can fly all weekend long if you wish, or sit and talk. Kewanee loves low passes, formations and fly-by's. Track the events as I get them scheduled at:

Just room, unfortunately. We can get electric to you and have water on field so you can fill you water tank, but no dumping facilities on field. We have a few people that have brought their RV's and camped the weekend. In all fairness, it is an airport. We have Johnson's Saulk Trail State park @ 5 miles north of town with full facilities, but they also charge. You are more than welcome to bring your RV and camp at the airport.

Jody--

I would be self contained for the duration--but just an extension cord would be a plus.

That we could do

Things are starting to fall into place for the Aeronca Festival. Going with $100 cash prise again for the poker run. This should more than pay for fuel. Musicians are looking forward to another night of entertainment and we have an extra sweet hog that volunteered to be roasted. Hope the WX is good so some distance flyers can make it.
