SEMA Show, Las Vegas, Gets Underway

SEMA show in Las Vegas starts today and it looks to be a good one.  Looking forward to seeing all the new after market products and linking up with tons of off-road businesses, BlueRibbon members and partners from all over the country. 

Yesterday, the meeting of the North American Motorized Recreation Council (NAMRC) was a huge success.  About 30 folks filled the table representing most every off-road group in the country.  Issues talked about included the AGO Initiative, the Planning Rule, the elections (of course) and strategies for motivating folks to stay in the game of fighting for our trails and joining our established organizations that help keep our sports alive.

SEMA folks are hugely supportive of helping landuse groups keep trails open.  They believe in supporting their SEMA member businesses by ensuring grassroots organizations can stay effective in fighting for trails and access.  It's a great partnership.

SEMA Show, Las Vegas

I'm in Las Vegas for the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. There's nothing else like it on earth. It's for businesses, manufacturers and dealers; and it's huge. We'll be doing three days of walking around the show. The SEMA folks are good supporters of land use and access as well. BlueRibbon Coalition and other major groups are partnered up with SEMA in different ways to save trails and keep our sports alive.

This week also includes the annual meeting of the North American Motorized Recreation Council (NAMRC). Several motorized groups will be coming together for an all day session on sharing common problems and finding solutions we can all use in our home organizations.
