Took my dad and two boys (4 and 7) there on Saturday and had a good time. There is a small (11-13 acres?) grass field surrounded by trees that was the main area. They had an obstacle course that ran completely around the outside of this field that anybody could ran and all the spectators could watch. Nothing extreme but anybody with open diffs or limited experience could get hung up on. One of my dad's friends was there working the event and let me use his TJ to take the kids for a ride (33" MT/R and a rear locker). They also had trailrides through the surrounding woods but I did not see them. The guy above said they were not extreme but would give a stock to lightly modified rig a workout.
They also had an R/C obstacle course setup (son brought his rockcrawler and played on it for awhile), some vendors, and food. Also had an area setup with battery powered Jeeps for the kids to ride on.
Thought it would be worth mentioning since we all know that fourwheelers generally get a bad rap, while this event was in the planning stages it caused quite an uproar with many locals opposing it. I'd like to hear what these people think now. If it wasn't for the sheriff's cars sitting on either side of the entrance and the sign you wouldn't know anything was going on. The field was at least a 1/4 mile off the road and that far away from any house. They even had a crew at the end of the drive with a pressure washer to clean off the tires of the vehicles before going out on the road. My buddy lives in the closest house right in front of the field (the original farmhouse that went with this land) and again you couldn't really tell anything was going on.
