As a first time visitor, I thought the event was great and I'm looking forward to next year.

GOOD

• Focus on charity. I was impressed by the number of raffle winners who gave their winnings back!
• Parking on grass was great for spending the day. Lot less oppressive than asphalt or concrete in the heat.
• Having multiple groups (CORE, TS, etc.) made for a great turnout and a nice variety of rigs to look at and steal ideas
• Food was certainly affordable; actually, it was surprisingly cheap for a charity event

SUGGESTIONS

• It wasn't clear how to get into the show/parking area. Made a couple of passes before someone in the B&B lot point the way.
• How about adding an early morning trail ride or poker run to the event
• Sign in with your BBS user name and name tags (If you go beyond a one-day event or add a dinner.) Interesting to put a face to a name.
• For non-members, add an info kit to the sign in materials. Upcoming events, membership info, etc.
• Get more participation from off-road vendors (e.g. Haspin, Eastern Welding Supply, BFG, etc.) There's lots of bucks in the rigs that showed up.
• Finally, you didn't pick my raffle ticket! (I'm assuming that you'll fix that next year.)

PS,
Thanks for the event!
