The 71st annual Trailblazers banquet will be held at the Carson Center in Carson on Saturday, April 11th. Every seat is sold and the Trailblazers board is getting all of the details in place for a fun-filled afternoon in the courtyard, followed by a great dinner and banquet with 700 of your closest friends.
If this is your first time attending the banquet, the Carson Center is located at 801 East Carson Street in Carson, CA 90745. Exit off Interstate 405 at the Carson Street exit and go west just past the Carson Doubletree by Hilton Hotel and turn right into the parking lot. The Hotel and Carson Center share the same parking lot.
The schedule is simple. Attendees should be planning to arrive around 3:00 p.m. That’s when the Pit Gate opens and the Tom Cates Memorial Bike Show Presented by The Early Days of Motocross Museum and Hagerty Insurance begins. If you are bringing a motorcycle, you actually need to be there by 2:00 so we can get you checked in and the bike in position. Its all first-come, first-served with spots for motorcycles until we fill up. So don’t get left out. Come early.
When you arrive and get parked at the Carson Center parking lot, proceed west towards the Trailblazers EZ-Ups where you will check in and receive your VIP Pass, pass holder and other materials, including your table number (all seats are pre-assigned). There will also be some of the commemorative Trailblazers 70th anniversary Beer Steins from last year’s banquet available at check-in for sale. Cash only.
You will need to wear the pass at all times and no one without a pass will be permitted past the gates. We encourage everyone to sign your name on both sides of the pass so the many other Trailblazers can pick you out.
At 6:00 p.m. the banquet doors will open. The program and dinner begins at 6:30 p.m.
We look forward to seeing you there!
