Text Box: Welcome to the first newsletter here on the airport grounds! The intention of this letter is to inform you about what is new and upcoming at the FBO and on the airport grounds. We will talk to the hanger owners to see what they are up to. We will tell you what's going on here at the FBO that you need to know about. We will update you on upcoming events and what happened at meetings. There will also be stories that you are interested about and maybe some funny little aviation Text Box: stories or jokes! If anyone has any suggestions, please contact me, Becky here at the FBO. I hope you have fun reading these stories. This newsletter is for fun and to keep you as hanger owners in the know of what is going on around here. It will go out to you bi-monthly, but until the end of the year it will be a little different. Happy Reading!!!

OUR FIRST NEWSLETTER!!!
Text Box: 1st Annual Airshow a SUCCESS Text Box: Even with the short amount of time for planning and the lack of resources, the 1st annual Baraboo– Dells Airshow was a success. About 3000 guests showed up the big event and everyone left with smiling faces. The performers did an awesome job and awed everyone! We would like to thank everyone who helped with the event including Mark Schmitz and his organization, Kevin Sullivan, the Text Box: airboss, and all the other volunteers and sponsors the contributed at this event. With a little bit more planning and more precise execution, we hope to put on a better show next year. We hope we can count on more support in the coming years events!
