Once you get the notice, a 2 night deposit is required by Jan 1 or

I got the Jan. 1 date from the people at the Oshkosh Convention &
Vistors Bureau booth at OSH. Your statement about deposits being
required by Jan 1 adds up. Rooms could open up if the deposit isn't paid.

5 night stays though may be a bit long. 6 days at Airventure can get to
be a bit much for me. I guess I could spend some time volunteering, but
I usually go with people who aren't quite as 'plane crazy' as me.

I see Lawrence University in Appleton has an air conditioned dorm for
$65/night double occupancy. I might check their availabilty. I wonder
if they have internet access? Maybe that's asking a bit much.
