Two confirmed tornadoes ripped through Custer County on Sunday.

All the other supercharger hunters were out of town before noon. Were you still around? Also, sorry I wasn't able to catch up with you. For some reason, I had it in my head that you weren't going this year and I didn't see you were there until the dinner Saturday night.
I was late in arriving (Saturday), but am staying in the Custer area for a week.

In 2019 we were chased out of town on Sunday by two feet of snow. In 2021 we were greeted by hail on Friday chased out of town on Sunday by tornados. Maybe moving the event to September isn’t such a bad idea...

Had a great time at the rally! I made the best of the fog and got some good photos with it.
Just passing this along. Glad I don't do video or drones. I always like to say a picture says a thousand words or something like that.

A very special thanks to all the people who attended this year's SOS event. Myself and the Chamber of Commerce are already hard at work planning for next year. Since we are filling their largest event space, it is likely that next year attendance will be limited to 200 PEOPLE, and how many cars that equates to. It is very likely that people will be turned away, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO JUST SHOW UP, UNANNOUNCED. I think it would be wise to watch for registrations to open and REGISTER. A word to the wise, Mac.
I found myself eyeing up the Custer Beacon as a potential event space - potentially the Friday meet & greet dinner.
If the event runs into a situation where it's at capacity, I'd advise allowing people to register and attend, but limiting the availability of meals and other events that have hard limits on how many people can be accommodated. One possible method of handling this is to reduce the overall registration fee, but make meal events an additional charge. That gives people the option to pick and choose what they want to do without limiting the total size of the event.
Having organized a number of very similar events in the past, I can't stress enough the importance of registering in advance. As an event planner, it's very difficult to manage logistics when attendees plan to register on-site rather than in advance.

I have to agree with my name counterpart. I figure the town should let hotel and campground reservations in the area dictate the total number. Dinners and other EVents can have registration limits and extra fees. Wouldn't it be great if Custer were filled with Teslas (and other EVs) for a weekend just as Sturgis gets filled with Harleys and other motorcycles? Certainly there is plenty of room for more cars in the high school parking lot for a lot more in a group photo. There seemed to be plenty of electrical outlets available around town for charging as well (or maybe we just got lucky).
I has pleasantly surprised by the charging situation. I don’t think I saw the Supercharger full once and I checked a few times. I used the destination chargers and temporary NEMA 14-50 outlets in lieu of Supercharging and it worked out great.
