I expected more since the location was close to a high population part of the country.
Maybe the smoke threat kept some people away.

Do I hear a motion for a recount?
On departure this morning, riders were crawling outta tents far and wide!
And I do mean far… extensive rally site layout. From near coffee central, it was a
Long Way Out to the perimeter folks.
I would never have thought attendance was less than 6K.
Heard there were 4,400 pre-registered; so with favorable temperatures & no rain
forecast, maybe the more serious atmospheric conditions about 100 miles north
really did keep some riders away.
Wonder how many first timers this year?
And, is there programming being utilized that
tells how many of last year’s high number of them returned?
I saw quite a few first timer buttons.
I met the guy that came from the furthest away (Oregon). I know the awards for that stuff was done in the building and not on stage, I'm always interested in that stuff but not really into an awards ceremony...would have been cool to see it run on stage as a slide prior to the entertainment.

Those are states that have hosted a rally. Delaware has never hosted one.

What does this mean? is this full timers or does it include day tickets?
are there separate counts for fully registered riders versys day pass riders?

I don't think so. The attendance number is used for multiple purposes, like marketing our product... us as members.
Now at Club HQ, you can bet they know about each category ($).
As paying members, most of us simply use the "how many" as a general gauge of a locations popularity, and our clubs success.
The list of all rallies attendance posted by Omega Man has an error for the 2002 Trenton, Ontario rally. That was our first MOA rally and was chaired by the legendary Kiltmeister. Thought there were about 6,000 - 8,000 people there. This one was our 13th MOA National rally. A big THANK YOU to everyone who worked so hard to put on one of the best! I like Paul Glaves post about the Army! True!

I think that number 568 dropped a zero and should be 5,680. Not positive but I think that is right. It was not a small rally.
This is true. I created the list initially and corrected the 2002 entry to 5682 sometime after that post was first written.

LMAO stuff...
The running joke on attandance numbers in VA is... Maybe they didn't count the people in port-a-lets around the camp area?

Looks like they are all up on the App. under announcements
Remembering past rallies, especially one where there was a large group of "hostages" boycotting the closing ceremonies, I really loved what they did this year, spreading out awarding prizes over all 3 days of the Rally. That meant that only those who really wanted to could gather on the final evening to hear the thanks and awards on Saturday night.
