Hi we will be visiting from England for the first time this year after years of saying we will attend. We will drive up from O'hare on the first saturday morning and are staying at UWO until the following Friday. Everything is booked and we can not wait, but have a few niggling questions?

First how do you find out about things like the type mass arrivals, Bonanzas etc? Saw some photos of hot air balloons from last year, how do you find out if/when they will be inflated? Is timings etc well advertised?

We would like to visit the Basler facility, does this need to be booked or can we just turn up?

Being from the UK our wristbands will not be mailed to us. Plan on the first day (Saturday pm) is to visit the museum, can we pick them up there?

On the Sat/Sun before the opening is there any catering onsite so we can get lunch?

I think thats it for now, any help appreciated.

Rob
