A few weeks ago Laura and I spent the weekend with the Danner family in their home at Stearman Field (near Witchita Kansas). Our "excuse" to go down there in the heat was the Aviation Content Creators Awards shenanigans going on that weekend, but we really had a great time hanging with the Danner's and their friends.
One of their friends is a seventeen year old young man named Christian who lives on the field. Christian, who's nickname is "Peeps" loves going to Oshkosh each year with his father, a professional EMS pilot. Well, this year that was cancelled so the neighborhood got creative!
Andrew and Eric Danner unveil the PeepsKosh banner to the crowd
(note Eric Danner's company, NextPage prints the SuperCub.Org Calendar every year!)
Here was the general invite to the event:
PeepsKOSH 2020 kicks off 1900 Thursday evening 23 July at Airshow Central (hangar C17)!
All the cool people will be there.
Wristbands are required and will be provided.
Awesome custom caps are here courtesy of the Danners.
Friday and Saturday mornings start off w/ decidedly unhealthy AirVenture-style breakfast selections and cold snacks will be plentiful daytime.
A full snowcone bar will also be ready for you.
We’ll have an aviation-themed movie all three nights w/ popcorn and stuff after dinner.
Who needs Oshkosh?!'
And here is the menu, prepared just like those lucious meal providers at AirVenture!
They had movie nights, hangar flying, all kinds of great events. Christian even took a ride in a Stearman. All in all it was a great event for a very sweet young man.

Movie nights!

It's great to see a group of folks making the best of the situation!
