Ø Members range in age from 12 to 92 (yes – a 10^th Mountain veteran!)

Ø We receive no government support – existing on the donations from visitors and the business community.

Ø Our visitor headcount averages about 250,000 per year, with a high of 500,000 per year. (estimates based of event sponsor’s data)

Ø Our annual budget for operating expenses is under $1000 U.S.D. per year, largely offset by in-kind donations from our business partners and volunteer efforts.
