3 WELCOME TO ALUMAPALOOZA 9, THE AIRSTREAM FACTORY, & THE VILLAGE OF JACKSON CENTER, OHIO! You re going to have a great week, and a busy one! Use this guide to plan your fun. WHERE IS EVERYTHING? We have three main areas for activities. (See the Map on page 10) The Main Tent is the big one, where most of the seminars and Happy Hours are held. All seminars are in the Main Tent unless otherwise specified. The Vendor/Registration Tent is next to it. Pick up your registration materials, t-shirts, and get information there. Most vendors will be present from Tuesday through Saturday. The Activities Tent is nearby on the grass, and that s where yoga and small group meetings are held. HAPPENING ALL WEEK Nightly Star-Gazing. Join Scott Roberts of Explore Scientific every cloudless night for astronomical observing. Location to be announced during Happy Hour. Come by and have a look at the universe! Morning Yoga class will be held at 7:30 am daily (except Tuesday) in the Activities Tent, with instructor Kimberley Oen. You don t need any prior experience to join this fun and easy class! Bring a towel or yoga mat and wear comfortable clothes. Hands-on s. These short workshops give you a chance to learn much more about your Airstream and how to take care of it. Each workshop runs 30 minutes and repeats once. You ll often have a chance to try techniques yourself and ask questions of an expert. ALUMAPALOOZA SURVIVAL GUIDE 1

4 On-site Airstream Cleaning Service. Detailing Unlimited will clean the exterior of your Airstream on site, for $30 trailer/motorhome only ($10 additional for tow vehicle) and $10 goes to charity. Additional services such as waxing are available on request. Just flag down the Detailing Unlimited truck when you see it, on Sunday May 27, Tuesday May 29, or Wednesday May 30. Washes take only about 10 minutes. Silent Auction for Charity. Airstream art, other items, and more will be auctioned off for charity. This includes a special VIP Airstream factory tour up, which goes to areas that the regular tour doesn t go, personally led by Plant Manager Marion Slater. You ll have at least an hour to tour the facility, ask all the questions you want, and get a memento of your visit. Every dollar raised in the Silent Auction will be donated to the Fish Pond, a local food bank that helps many local people. Place your bids in the Vendor/Registration tent. Open Grill. This year we re going to have Open Grill on Thursday and Friday night. It s a lot of fun sharing the big custom-made grills with your fellow Airstreamers, and sharing the interesting items that people bring to cook. We supply the charcoal and the grills, you bring whatever you want to cook and your grill tools. On Tuesday night, Airstream managers will be cooking hot dogs and hamburgers too!
