Thumbs up SevenStock was really a GREAT time because of......


THE VOLUNTEERS!

I’d like to thank all of you for helping out Sevenstock! You guys were awesome! Getting things done even though it was wet and miserable. I was right there with you in the rain setting things up. Getting the signs up in the staging area, directing people where to go, answering questions by the public. You first timers looked like you were doing this for years! A special thanks to those that stayed after and helped clean up the trash. The staging area wasn’t too pleasant nor was the vendor area! I hope you all got your event shirts/hats.
At the banquet all I heard was how “smooth it was”, or “I showed up and just enjoyed myself”. You guys pulled it off without anyone knowing all the changes on the fly we did, again!
Thanks again!

It was fun! Makes Sevenstock more enjoyable when you are actually involved behind the scenes. Great experience, will do it again for sure next year. Thanks for having me as part of the team.

This must be your 1st SevenStock my friend. That's Berny and that's the way we do things here @ SS. Our show, our rules!

By the way, he only announced the first 3 numbers of those tickets, so there's about 1000 potential winners who had those 3 numbers. 6 number ticket

I agree, thanks to everybody who made the event possible.

And about the raffle, people weren't buying tickets to win stuff any way. They were buying tickets to help the juvenile diabetes research charity right?

thanks to everyone who helped out.

i know how much effort everyone must have put in.

despite the rain it turned out to be a great day.

im sure if it wasnt raining tho it would have been a bigger turn out. i was also contemplating on not going because of the rain but changed my mind last minute.

next year i would love to see a mobile dyno show up.

Thanks for the props Q.. A WHOLEHELLUVA lot of people VOLUNTEER their time to make this event possible, maybe next time we can count on your help as well. We can always use the extra hands.

Tom, JDRF had their own booth right outside the driveway for their fund raising efforts, they sure raised a whole lot this year too!! Thank everyone! Keep fighting diabetes!!

The SSX Raffle proceeds are funneled into making this event possible. It goes to making the signs you see at the staging area, the SSX banners, misc items, even rope to hang the banners. Things start to add up really quick for an event of this magnitude and we're helpful that you ALL that buy raffle tickets to help support our lil BBQ. Most importantly, I'd like to thank ALL of the vendors who contribute all the great items to give away during our FAMOUS SS Raffle.

THANKS YOU VENDORS!!! and THANK YOU TO THE VOLUNTEERS!!

For anyone who wish to improve SS next time, you're more than welcome to contact Gary (our volunteer coordinator) to sign up for the next "World's BIGGEST Rotary Event".

Thumbs up Great Job!!

I agree that the volunteers rock! I think Sevenstock X was an improvement over Sevenstock IX. I liked the way the parking lot was utilized for the pre-staging of cars vice being on the road.

I also liked that the vendors were moved out to the road vice being in the parking lot. This allowed for alot more RXs to be parked and i am confident that we could have filled it up if the weather would have cooperated. I think the weather scared some folks off this year.

Great job in bringing in more vendors! I think everyone was able to enjoy walking around and visiting with many different shops and seeing some cool products and sponsored cars.

Again, great job and I look forward to attending next year.

Hey QBALL i saw you pull in but didn't get a chance to say hi to you. LOL good stuff.

Seven stock was good cause i was able to meet and greet a lot of people i did business with over the past year, and on top of that catch up with old friends that i met at last years seven stock

I liked the setup the way vendors were setup, and how all cars were pre-staged in the parking lot. Good stuff guys

I would have to agree with prjct87rx7 100% the ticket should of been read... But hey like you said its your rules. I had a great time even in the rain being from the northwest and all.
The doubltree in my opinion was a better choice than the hilton and not to mention very close to the event. I hope you can get the doubletree next year. I over heard the front desk clerk manager wasnt too happy about the pool party.
