Roughly $10 to $12M over the total life of the show annually that remains
within
the Oshkosh area.

Wow.

And while we were in OSH the Appleton Post-Crescent ran a letter to the
editor decrying the fact that Wittman Field has a hugely expensive
independent airport authority. The writer was claiming that this authority
should be eliminated as a cost-cutting measure, and combined with the nearby
Outagamie County airport authority, because there simply wasn't enough
traffic into OSH to warrant the expense.

Reading this while sitting in LaSure's, I literally couldn't believe my
eyes... Maybe 51 weeks per year the guy has a point, but those other 7 days
more than make up for whatever that board may cost.
