How many people attended the event last year? I'm considering making the drive up, but was curious on your attendance levels from the 1st event last year. Thanks!

 

[ontosrob]

We have about the same amount of traders as last year. Attendance was ok, about 70. We ran the event in the middle of June on a hot & way too beautiful weekend. It was too late into the Summer.

We learned alot from our first swap and are building from there!!

seems like a lot more area clubs are supporting us this year - i've heard people from at least 4 states have shown some interest, hopefully they decide to take the scenic drive to northern wi
and with all that vendor sponsorship and prizes you've gotten rob it has to be worth it, just the chance to win a vortec alone has to peak someones interest - i know it does mine

With F&S dropping the conference, I'd say expect more attendance. I won't be able to make this weekend unfortunately due to prior obligations. I'll see if I can dig something out to send along with Dave though for a donation...

 

[ontosrob]

Wow!! Thank you very much for the generous offer! It is especially generous coming from you unsolicited. Thank you so much again from all of us at NWRS & UPMMAS!!

I'm pretty sure I need one of those war corals John.

I want to thank both Attendees & Traders for supporting our event!! We tripled our attendance from last year!

Everybody went home a free goodie bag. There was an unbelievable selection of beautiful coral to purchase from talented & witty traders and win in the large silent auction. Lastly, many lucky people when home with great raffle prizes.

Besides everything stated above, I was able to catch-up with old friends and make many new ones. I hope everybody was able to the same and have as much fun as I did.


Hope to see everybody next year!

Rob
