Pilots and aviation lovers, what sort of events would interest you at a fly in?

I’m interested in hosting a fly in at a local airport to raise awareness for General Aviation, maybe some money for my local CAP unit, interest prospective pilots in the area (to help out my instructor) and have a good time in general for everyone.

I’ve heard of things like spot landing competitions and the like, are there any other fun things like this?

The airport would probably be a class G grass strip, since i probably wouldn’t be able to get permission from the bigger class E (soon to be D) airport.

Thanks!
