The Gary Air Show, Reach, Frequency, Timing and the USA Air Force

USAF F15

This weekend (July 9th – 11th) is “The Gary Air Show” at Marquette Park Beach in Gary, IN. The show reminds me of the time after September 11th 2001, when the USA Air Force used marketing tactics combined with real military might to reassure Americans of their personal safety. I was working in Chicago at the time and all air activity had stopped temporarily by the afternoon of the 11th.
Anything moving in the air would stop vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the city. Starting around the 12th we saw low-flying US Air Force jets go over the city (sometimes slightly below the actual skyline). It was a sight–these graceful jets blaring through our city with their flag brightly painted on the tail of the plane. They did this daily for awhile. The enormously loud engines coupled with the near sonic booms provided reach and the schedule granted frequency. I’m told they did this over all metropolitan centers. The American people were reassured.

June 18th, 2010

Here at Livemercial, due to the recent revival of the Livemercial blog, we are getting out in the community more. We are trying to get involved with local organizations, events and causes that are in line with our belief in Northwest Indiana as a great place to do business. In short, we are looking for worthwhile things to do in Northwest Indiana.

June 10th presented a great opportunity in this realm, as the Town of Dyer celebrated their centennial. I went there that evening to help celebrate, talk to some folks and to take some Northwest Indiana photography. The celebration was held at Pheasant Hills Park in Dyer, IN and the fairgrounds were very inviting. The evening’s schedule included a flag raising ceremony (conducted jointly by the local VFW post and the Boy Scouts), a concert and a fireworks show. I proceeded to walk around, taking in the sights as well as the smells…. did I mention they had THIRTEEN food vendors? No? Well, they did! I particularly enjoyed some very fine polish sausage.
