Over the years, after storms, many tents are broken and end up getting thrown in dumpsters.
Bonanzas 2 Oshkosh started collecting undamaged poles. They came in handy for people who found out they had damaged poles while setting up their tent or after a storm. It kept many campers from having to leave early or from having to buy new tents. We have decided to expand this service.
Talked to Cy Galley - Chair, AirVenture Emergency Aircraft Repair- he said he would be willing to put up a storage container for tent poles/parts. So--in the future--if you have a damaged tent or do not want to take a tent home with you. Please take it to the emergency aircraft repair building---or at the least--place the poles by the dumpster and not in it. We will make the rounds of the dumpsters in the camping areas every so often , and collect poles. If you find you need poles for your tent, go to the emergency aircraft repair building and see what they have, If you get something, make a small donation. 100% of the funds will go to operation thirst, young eagles, or Angel flights.
Its a small thing--but all the small things at Oshkosh are what make it so special !!!!!
