High Point - in my career!

Moto Mom Books was given a wonderful opportunity last weekend.  We set up as a vendor at the High Point Pro National in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania.  Rita Coombs, Carrie Russell, and Tim Cotter from MX Sports were gracious and very accommodating throughout the weekend.  This was the first time we sold books at such a big venue, and we were well received.  Track announcer, Rodney, did an excellent job promoting our books, especially on Friday.  Our location could not have been better, as we were very close to the entrance to the pro pits, as well as being between Risk Racing and the Legends and Heroes Tour.  We were happy to meet so many families from so many different backgrounds. 

Cael was one happy camper since he got to meet some of his motocross idols, including Justin Barcia, Ryan Dungey, Chad Reed, Josh Grant, Nick Wey, and Will Hahn.   The kids had a great time cruising the pro pits and seeing what the pro riders and mechanics do off the track.  Some guys had a remote control car they were having fun with and when that got too boring they built a quick ramp to jump the car from.  A few riders were helping their mechanics with bike set-up.  Most riders were very gracious and more than willing to take the time to give an autograph for their young fans.  Overall, we had a great time and hope to be back next year with the second book of the Riley series and possibly the third book.

I would to thank my husband, David, who put a lot of time and effort into making this weekend a success.  Also, thanks to Rita Coombs, Carrie Russell, and Tim Cotter for the wonderful opportunity they afforded us, and the guys at Risk Racing who were very hospitable neighbors and who helped us when the wind almost took our canopy back to West Virginia for us!  Thanks to all the parents, grandparents, and families who stopped by our booth to chat, pick up a business card, purchase a book, or just to say “That’s a great idea!”

As a special post-High Point offer, the first person who orders a book and sends me an e-mail mentioning the code “holeshot”, gets a free t-shirt!  Have a great week!
