Thunder on the Lakeshore 2008 Recap from the Chairman
Despite a tornado watch on Saturday and downright ugly rainy weather on Sunday, the Thunder On The Lakeshore staff would like to thank everyone who attended this year's airshow. Although we didn't set any attendance records, we had a great turnout on Saturday for the airshow. The balloon glow downtown Saturday night was exciting, highlighted by a sunset arrival of two Canadian CF-18 fighter jets and the Oregon Aero SkyDancer night pyro act.
Thanks to all those who attended despite "iffy" weather forecasts, and for all the good wishes after the event. We received a lot of positive comments from the performers, sponsors, attendees and officials. It's a great event for our community, and we're already working tentatively on 2009's Airshow, and have some exciting plans in the works. We're working with the US Army Golden Knights Parachute Team for their 50th Anniversary, as well as a number of new and exciting performers.
Special thanks go to all the volunteers and sponsors of the event, without them, it just wouldn't happen.
