Larry, I would be glad to help with recruiting companies and vendors for forums.
Just a few questions. Anyone out there willing to share their experiences and expert knowledge to participate in a learning forum? Engine, glassing, sheet metal, electrical, new technologies, wood working, props, first flights, annuals, do's dont's and what to look for? fuel systems, tank building, insturments, radios, builders logs and high tech builders logs, what I did wrong and what I learned from it? Or, If I did it again, How I would do it this time? valve adjustments, cooling Do we have a list of all previouos vendors which I can use as a lead list? Do we have a prospect list of vendors we may have not seen in past gatherings that we would like to see in attendance? Do we have a maximum number of vendors? What data, specific to total attendance, space, time and other that I might use to call on prospects to sell them on coming? Have we ever thought of prospecting other groups to attend? such as the Kleenex , dragonfly. Quickie or EAA chapters? If we want to keep it someowhat closed to other groups I am fine with that.Just thinking out loud and wondering if attendance might help promote the cause as well as off set costs. I would think that gleaing the vendor list from the LSA convention might be a great place to start to look for vendor participants? I know that considering the scale of our gathering it may be difficult to get vendors to commit to forums. But, I am willing to give it a try. If there should be a larger group of vendors interested,would we want to think about smaller food vendors or T shirt vendors or other aircraft related vendors? I am not trying to get to far outside of the theme or confines. Just thinking out loud.I am not opposed to working hard to get interests, cold calling and promoting and working to help make it a good event. Just tell me to shut up if or where I go to far. Thoughts????

Go to www.krgathering.org for all the details. I guess my e-mail went through as you replied to it but I've still not gotten my copy of what I sent out. I hope I'm the only one.
