What are the best offroading events coming up in the near future?

I need to get some indviduals exposed to the world of off roading quickly. Telling them about it is one thing, but the real proof is experiencing it first hand. Thus, I would like to send them out to 1-2 major trail events (unfortunately couldn't attend EJS) in the near future. Apprecaite getting input from around the country on what good events are happening.

come to this one and you will enjoy. Great raffles thanks to some great vendors from the pirate will be there. I would estimate over 400 rigs will attend. 7000+ acres of trails too.

Location Harlan, KY 40806

Columbus the first weekend in May.

I want the even to be trail rides / participation vs. a competition.

Location doesn't matter - can be anywhere in the country.

The event is mostly gonna be trail rides. Two days of trail rides.

I would also suggest making it to Harlan. You may also want to check out what Paragon and Crozet have going on this summer. There is also going to be a ride near Summersville WV this summer. It is always fun. Check out www.mountaineeroffroad.com for more details.

I would also reccommend Rockport Offroad Park in west central Illinois. They have a very nice rock garden and a ton of trails. Also two river jeep club has a couple runs that they would really enjoy.
