I spoke with the airport manager. If I go at all, I will either fly in on Saturday night or drive in on Saturday night.

Sounds like tonight a bunch of early birds are going to the Anderson Brewing Company (beer tasting room), which closes at 6pm. Then back to the hangar / house by 6:30pm when the pizza party starts. The pizza party goes from 6:30pm until 8 or later. Saturday morning flights start coming in around 10am, festivities at 12 noon, and the big potluck at 5pm (bring a dish). Their website says expect 300-400 people, and 200 for potluck. On the phone they said 40 - 50 planes, parking in various areas.
