1. I'm taking my girls out of school early just so we can go...

McCain will also be here Fri., at the EAA building...wonder who will get a bigger turnout...I have a feeling his first name won't be John.

2. Get there early and have a plan for parking.

Parking is very limited on and around campus, especialy during the day when school is in session. Have fun! I hope I can work my schedule to attend as well.

3. I have freinds who live near campus so I plan on parking there...

too bad I can't have the kids delivered since I always get a good spot before my 8 o'clock class....

4. Update: Time changed to 1:30

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is scheduled to speak at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh’s Kolf Sports Center at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 15. Doors open at noon.

The visit is funded by Obama for America and is sponsored by UW Oshkosh’s College Democrats. The event is open to the general public, as well as the campus community. Tickets are not required but pre-registration is encouraged. To RSVP, visit http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/oshkosh.

There will be “open parking” on campus on Friday, but due to the number of visitors expected, parking will be tight, especially around mid-day. People who can car pool, ride city buses, or walk to campus are strongly encouraged to do so.

Lot 7a, which is directly behind Kolf, will be closed from 4:30 a.m. until Senator Obama and his entourage departs after the rally.

Lot 13, which is located between Kolf and the High Avenue Parking Ramp, will have additional spaces for people with disabilities. People with disabilities should enter Kolf through the ROTC doors located on the north end of Lot 13.

All people attending the rally will be required to pass through detection devices manned by members of the Uniformed Division of the United States Secret Service. If items being carried activate detectors, bags and/or your person will be searched to identify what activated the screening devices. If you are found in possession of prohibited items you will not be allowed to enter the rally.
