TOURISM MATTERS TRAVEL THEN + NOW IN OSHKOSH This is The World Comes to Oshkosh … in Airplanes Wisconsin’s Written by Dick Knapinski, EAA IN 1969, the 16-year-old Experimental Aircraft Association faced a dilemma. The Rockford, Illinois, airport where the EAA fly-in convention had spent the previous 11 years, had become too small for the growing summer event and city leaders there were either unable or unwilling to Event City! provide more space. So EAA founder Paul Poberezny hunted for a new Midwest site and encountered an old friend, longtime EAA member Steve Wittman, who had managed the Oshkosh airport for decades (it now carries his name as Wittman Regional Airport). Along with some Oshkosh business leaders with foresight, they convinced Winnebago County officials to welcome the EAA fly-in in 1970. After a spring filled with preparing a site, including picking thousands of rocks out of the farm fields on the west side of the airport, the 1970 EAA convention welcomed its first aircraft. Some of the figures from that first year at Oshkosh: • 280 homebuilt aircraft • 217 vintage aircraft • 110 warbirds • 5,800 campers IN 2017, the 65th annual gathering EAA AirVenture Oshkosh – the 48th consecutive one in Oshkosh – has also become one of had the following totals: the crown jewels of • 590,000 total attendance Wisconsin tourism, • 80 nations represented accounting for • 10,000-plus aircraft to the region • 1,107 homebuilt aircraft $170 MILLION • 1,162 vintage aircraft of economic impact in • 351 warbirds the five Fox Valley • More than 40,000 campers in 11,600 counties alone. campsites • 881 commercial exhibitors Among the aircraft welcomed to Oshkosh during the event, now named EAA AirVenture Oshkosh: • British Airways’ Concorde • Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft • SpaceShipOne, the first successful civilian spacecraft • Blue Origin rocket booster and capsule • Nearly every active American military aircraft since 1970 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh has also become one of the crown jewels of Wisconsin tourism, accounting for $170 million of economic impact in the five Fox Valley counties alone, according to a 2017 University of Wisconsin Oshkosh study.

A CITY ON THE RISE - WHAT’S NEW IN OSHKOSH… 2017 will go down as one of Oshkosh’s most important years in decades. Oshkosh Corp. made the decision to build its new world headquarters in Oshkosh. Having a Fortune 500 company in Oshkosh is significant for a town its size. It will undoubtedly bring new and exciting opportunities to the city. The Menominee Nation Arena, home of the Milwaukee Bucks G-League affiliate team the Wisconsin Herd, was completed in December 2017. From start to finish, the hard work that went into the new arena was nothing short of amazing. Along with basketball, the arena will host numerous other sporting events, entertainment acts and conventions. Oshkosh now boasts three great breweries with the addition of the Fifth Ward Brewing Company. The new brewery joins Bare Bones Brewery and the Fox River Brewing Company in making Oshkosh a true, craft beer destination. The Oshkosh Riverwalk continues to grow as new sections were completed last year. The Riverwalk provides locals and visitors with a great place to walk, bike or explore downtown. It will be the envy of many communities once completed. Oshkosh gained incredible momentum in 2017. It is definitely an exciting time to be a member of this amazing community.

By Ti Windisch Herald contributor

Most photographers at Wisconsin Herd home games are either team staff or from a lo- cal outlet. Emil Vajgrt was not like most pho- tographers at those games during the team’s inaugural season. Vajgrt did not work for a local paper, the Herd or the Milwaukee Bucks. He was at games on behalf of the players, including Kyle Casey after a chance meeting at the 20th Ave- nue YMCA brought them together. “We were goofing around and listening to music, and that’s when Kyle Casey heard the music,” Vajgrt said. “He came over, we got to talking. He asked if I lived here, how long I’ve been living here, and (I told him) I’ve been living here my whole life. I was like, ‘If you guys need anything, let me know.’” Because of Vajgrt’s easygoing nature, Ca- sey took him up on that offer. Vajgrt said on one occasion when he was around Casey and some other players, Casey noticed Vajgrt had a camera and was serious about photography. Later on, Vajgrt sent Casey some selections he had taken of Oshkosh North point guard Photos by Emil Vajgrt Tyrese Haliburton.
