The Colonial Aero Club of Chicago organized and elected officers on 17 June 1910. It planned to hold an aviation meet, to be known at the Glenn H. Curtiss Aviation Meet, in early July 1910 at which it said it would offer cash prizes for aviation and automobile contests. As of 17 June, 32 aviators had submitted their intents to compete. The meet began on 2 July 1910 at the Hawthorne track in Chicago.
Initial officers included Joseph R. Beymer, president; A. L. Brown and George C. Taylor, vice presidents; and Harry Hagenback, secretary-treasurer.
