Fly-in 2010:  We received $150 from the crafters and they were happy with sales and turnout at the event.  Advertising for fly-in may be in “Barnstormers”, “Trade-a-Plane” and Midwest Flyer”.  Room Tax wants our adds to go out of the area.  Most attendance was from on-line sources.  About $1400 was spent on advertising.  Tom is trying to get PA System installed compliments of the Airport Commission because the band was hard to hear.  We can look into a different band or maybe a disc jockey.  Weather was a big factor in lower attendance.  We don’t know how well the Lions did. They had to throw away 4 pans of eggs, but lunch trade was steady.  It was windy and cool.

Maybe we should try a chili event with skis.
