Headquartered at the Skylark Shores Resort, the event utilizes the nearby Natural High School field for on-shore parking and display of amphibious seaplanes. Land planes use nearby Lampson Field and local volunteers will provide shuttle services to and from the venues.
 
Community support from the County of Lake, the City of Lakeport, the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, the Lake County 4H Citizenship & Leadership Group, the Lake County Public Works Department, and the Lakeport Regional School District has made this the local, successful event it has become. Strong interest in the event from the surrounding communities creates a popular event for families throughout the region and hundreds come to see the planes on exhibit in Lakeport. 
 
Seaplane pilots from throughout the region and from out-of-state attend to show off their planes and see others. Approximately 50 seaplanes are expected to attend, making an interesting day of flight and ground displays. Water bombing contests and spot landing contests will allow pilots to showcase their planes and flying skills. Seaplanes must preregister by Sept 23 at 5:00PM
