Once the rally became a "thing" (2009 ish), our overriding thought was always to make it something that everyone could enjoy.Once she figured that out that the rally was more about fellowship, on-road convoys and off-roading she understood why there weren't acres and acres of vendors and why there weren't steady bunches of military vehicle parts shoppers or the public there.
If all you want to do is sell stuff, we've tried to encourage that by intentionally never charging for vendor spaces. Wanna' bring a 53' tractor trailer? You'll have enough room.
Wanna' set up a display for your vehicle, showing how it was used in the service? Awesome
Offroader? Go spend the entire week in the woods
I'd like the swap meet to be bigger and I'm not sure how to grow that aspect. But the rest of it is intentionally designed to be enjoyable for enthusiasts with different needs/desires.
