Come prepared to have fun!
Son O Beach is a low key social event. The focus of our fun is our beloved Broncos. Our events and activities are planned to show off the versatility of the Ford Bronco and the good people who drive them. Our event is pretty much run by volunteers. The cost to register is 2 cans of food which benefi ts the local food basket program. You can only register if you are driving an Early Bronco. If you don’t have a Bronco you are still welcome to hang out with us. When you arrive at Sand Lake, our registration booth is usually out in the “treeline” across the sand fl ats from the parking area. Most events originate at this booth. If you can’t see it from the lot, follow the Broncos. When you register at the booth you will get a goodie bag full of cool free stuff, and an itinerary for the weekend. Son O’ Beach starts at noon on Friday (Tillamook trail runs may start earlier. Please watch Broncofi x.com for updates from our trail leader) and ends at noon on Sunday.
