In 1999 we changed our format some. We created our own individual festival. The La Crosse Area Flyers, and the La Crosse Convention and Visitors Bureau still support our event but don't hold any active role. Now, the Executive Committee control's the direction of Airfest. Our committees change from year to year.
Many volunteers stay active but a few work for only a few years.
Some may return after leaving and we welcome their support. The year 2000 brought many changes. This was the first year we met the requirements to bring a military demonstration team to the show. The United States Navy Blue Angels brought down the house. The year 2000 show was also the year that the airshow area moved to the west side of the airport.
