The "Key to the City"
Award was created by EAA and the City of Oshkosh to Honor distinguished
personalities for contributions to the promotion and support of EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh and the aviation community. A unique marble and glass
"Key to the City" sculpture was specially designed for the
occasion. The recipients' names are also inscribed on a permanent plaque
that hangs in City Hall. The large plaque will establish a public record
of past recipients and become a permanent reminder of the recipient's
contributions.
