Special Programs
The EAA AirVenture Museum has a variety of optional activities. One can participate in a variety of activities such as paper airplane contests or model rocket construction. Also, anyone that is in the scouting program can earn their badges with multiple activities the museum puts on.
The museum contributes planes and funds to sponsor the EAA AirVenture event held throughout the summer. Many of the museum's planes are on display or flown in during the air shows during the event. The EAA AirVenture event started in Milwaukee at about the same time as the EAA AirVenture Museum opened up. After a couple of years, the event brought in so many people that they had to move the event to Oshkosh. It is a week long event in the middle of summer and it brings in thousands of people. Air shows, hundreds of planes, and many other attractions keep the tourists coming back for more each year.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or programs:
“If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works, with all the misconceptions, the omissions, the failures that any finished work of art implies.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
