Another FNG

[Bob Schaefer]

I've been lurking in the Facebook group and following on Instagram for a long time. I finally decided to officially join. I have a 1973 Bronco Explorer and a 1996 Centurion.

 

[BadSquatch]

Welcome! Hope to see you at Bronco Bash.

 

[Bob Schaefer]

Thank you. I'm hoping to finally make it this year.

 

[Dusty]

Welcome! Both are cool but that Centturian is awesome! Hope you bring it to BBBB.

As an FNG, I am a bit weak on the history of this group.
I see this message: "Please support the businesses that support So Cal Broncos!"
I don't have a problem supporting someone when asked, but I'm curious what they have done to support So Cal Broncos.

Hey Bob that's a fair question! Each of the businesses you see under that line have contributed in some way to our various endeavors. For example, James Duff has sponsored the live music at our Big Bear Bronco Bash for the last few years. Wild Horses has helped us out financially to cover some unforeseen costs related to last year's sudden venue change. Those two Bronco parts sellers have been regular attendees at our events and supporters of what we do, including generously contributing to our raffles back when we used to do them. Bronco Babes is my wife's company, and both she and Steve from Wedeking Law have also chipped in financially to help cover some of our event costs in order to keep BBBB free to attend. And Extreme Terrain has paid for a substantial chunk of the software and hosting costs for maintaining the So Cal Broncos website and this forum. Hope that clears things up for you

Dusty,

Don't we also get some discounts from some of these vendors we well? Or am I mis-remembering?

Dusty,

Not officially. The only vendor I have set up with a discount code is my company, ICON, who is not a sponsor but I squeezed a 15% discount out of them for members who graduate past FNG. Unfortunately that was right before we started making the 15% discount standard just about every month for our monthly promotions, so it's practically worthless now LOL.

I've never tried to coordinate group discounts from any of our vendor friends. Their contributions to So Cal Broncos has been in helping us out with specific needs whenever we've asked.

 

[Bob Schaefer]

Thank you for your response. That's kind of what I was expecting. I'm glad to hear that they have helped out and plan to do some business with them. Since I need to make some major purchases, I was hoping they might have discounts that aren't listed. Thanks again for the response.

I'm sorry I've been absent. Since BBBB2023 I've had three family members pass away. I came to the event on Thursday afternoon for a quick trail ride lead by Danny. I'm not sure where the pics should go so here's some. I didn't quite make it home. It turned out to be a clogged fuel filter.
