First my background
I'm an ole f@rt 60ish
Owned my bronco for last 25 years, second owner same family (uncle's)
Driven first 12 years, parked it till 2017
Restoration started 2017, drive able Dec 2019 (are they ever complete?)
Observations
1. Bronco drivers, like their broncos, come in all ages, shapes, sizes, conditions and all are well lived and loved!
2. Super Celebration is a great family event. Many generations represented and a bunch of pets too!
3. Next year, I will come earlier and stay until the end.....arrived too late Wednesday, left early Saturday morning as I only saw a 1/3 of the broncos. I like to look and hear their stories. Plus I want to fish the rivers!
4. The organization and frequency of the rides is great, I only made one this year, but that keeps me coming back for more!
5. I like the idea of no alcohol sales, not against a drink, but not needed especially if promoting the drives
Observations and, if needed, enhancements (my 2 cents with my idea of a solution).
6. Event map would be great prior to the event. As a first timer, I was a bit confused about the location for everything especially trailer parking, I was the idiot or one of them who attempted to bring a trailer up to the bronco only area. A volunteer at the bottom of the hill would have kept me out and could direct/block traffic for the rides! Maybe get the chamber of commerce or another local organization to sponsor and promote other local business. Place it on the registration site and/or registration acknowledgement email. There will be many more newbies in the coming years.
7. A couple of identifiable wifi hotspots (hint to Ford), one in the swap area and other in the main, again sponsored (again Ford). Only reason is no cell service for me and a few others I met.
8. Vendor map, with the new Bronco showing up in 2022 there will be even more vendors and people, call it a dry run for the future. Again it could be pdf
9. Food vendors, what about offering to place 1 or 2 in the swap area. I know the was a new baby issue with one of the food trucks, but if you could place a couple over in the swap area it might disperse the people and give the vendors a bit more foot traffic!
10. Would be nice to see more clubs, websites, events etc... with hospitality/information tents that promote (if allowed)..... Or a general info tent with bins that do the same.
Again these are enhancements to me and none of these being done would stop me from coming especially since I've been there once now!
I cannot say enough good things about the people I met this week and all those great broncos. Hope all goes well and I get to see you next year.
