Soooo having never attended an event in Arizona--- on average, how many people usually attend?

Here's sign-ups for past Tucson events:
https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?eventId=3557
https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?eventId=3710
https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?eventId=2880

So that's 51, 53 and 55.

THANKS! It occurred to me as I hit post that I could probably look these up.

However it is still a question I have-- is 15 spots (plus some unofficial spots on the road) enough for typical attendance? Surely some local boxers know each other well enough to carpool ~1 hour from Tucson (depending where you live exactly)?? How many cars does an average of 50 Arizonans equal? HA!

The numbers given are for events in February with probably half from out of state. Based on AZ residents that regularly attend events I can probably count 15-20, and several of us travel extensively during the summer. I'm not sure how many would come from out of state. Sounds like a great event and the AZ crowd would love it, but numbers could be small. Let us know how we can help, if needed.

Awesome thanks. I wanted to do this fall but i decided to travel to see the total solar eclipse instead. Don't think i can do both. So probably early summer (first week of June) or next fall. Didn't think about summer travel or snow birds. Do you think if it were June. ..or august /sept people would attend?

June is guaranteed to be hot
And dry aug sept the fickle monsoons kick in. I'm not sue how that impacts the my Lemmon area. June will have more muggles streaming to the mountain to lol off especially on weekends

I would be interested in flying to Arizona for an event. We usually try to go to one event far away then make a vacation around it.

Oh I'm very aware. Born and raised in Tucson and spent a lot of my summer time on mt lemmon for that reason. June should be decent at the location I'm considering. The place i am considering renting would not be open to the public except thru hikers. I'd rent all 3 units available to be sure. It has its own parking, it's just limited. :)

For any familiar I'm looking at Showers point on Organization Ridge Road.

Hi there! We are newly moved full-time to Flagstaff; would LOVE an AZ event. Don't have input about Tucson area except would enjoy something in winter when it isn't so very hot there and it would be fun to get away from snow here (:-). Blessings and good luck in your planning.

Ahh i had overlooked the one in prescott. That was the same weekend i was looking at.

If i can find a venue in the valley within budget I'd love to do winter. Right now the current venue I've found closes after October because it's on the mountain. .. will keep pondering.
