Mailing something to Airventure and picking it up on Monday?

[Kazoo]

I've heard there are ways to mail something to Oshkosh and pick it up there, but I don't quite know how it works. Can someone enlighten me?

Oh! Okay. Thanks so much! I'm going to be looking at both options, as it is getting down the wire here :p

Hal, would that be "Airventure Attendee - Name" or just "Name"? As I will be having something shipped there from LensRentals.com, is it okay to not use the actual PDF mailing label as given on the website?

You definitely want to include the term "AirVenture Attendee - " and then your name. As far as using the PDF, it's preferred, but definitely not required.
