[QUOTE=Personally I thought it was typical to crowded. Just my opinion.... others who were there, am I off?[/QUOTE]
I think your off...This was the lowest attended rally I have ever been to, and I have been to MANY. Yes the first weekend (especially the first Saturday) was extremely busy, but it completely died after that. The following Thursday and Friday, which are normally the biggest days were dead. There were many camp sites available at the seasonal place I am at and that is a 1/4 mile from Silver Sands!! All the local store owners I talked to said sales were way down compared to years past.
I have to agree with TiltonBB, something has to change. How many T-shirt vendors does the Rally really need. It's the same old stuff year after year. The Rally needs to bring in something new to keep people interested and coming.
I have a bike and I enjoy the rally but after a day or two I am all set. I do enjoy going over by boat, docking at the weirs and meeting up with friends for lunch.
Take care;
Dan
