Where to find official number of attendees?

Rally attendance has been discussed a number of times searchable through the “Tag Cloud”.

COVID is still a factor

Just going to chime in here:

COVID is still a factor for many people.
Borders were closed - the nearest being Canada.
We had seminar presenters and vendors who couldn't get here even if they tried.

Comparing this year's rally to ANY other rally is impossible.
That's all I got.

I'm sure that's a factor, Sue. But if you look at past rallies to the general region, specifically Salt Lake City and Billings, the number of attendees is sort of in the same ballpark. Could the numbers been greater this year? One would hope that people were anxious to get out and about and decided to wait another year. No doubt next year will be better given that the rally is more centrally located.

Thank you.
 
Adam -

You're probably thinking of this, but you should normalize the number of attendees each year by the club membership at the time. Not sure we can account for attendees who were non-members, but 425 attending in 1973 is not going to plot very well on its own!!
