See: http://www.eaa.org/ and http://www.airventure.org/
The Old Orchard B&B (a historic farmhouse that operates as a B&B each
year for EAA, and is usually fully reserved a year or more in advance),
due to last minute cancellation of a family from France, has
unexpectedly open rooms for the duration of EAA. The Old Orchard is
located 7.5 miles NW of the EAA grounds, near Lake Butte des Morts,
with easy access to the grounds via multiple highway routes.
Shared rides to and from the grounds are available eac day. Shuttle
service to and from ATW, GRB, and OSH can be arranged at no additional
cost. Charter Buses are available from ORD and MKE. Shuttle service
to/from MSN can be arranged for an additional cost.
Difficulties? Just ask.
While no longer a functional farm, asparagus, family, children, and
friendships continue to grow here each year. The property is
heavily wooded with two private ponds for swimming and fishing.
