Mom Time Off (MTO!)
A look at last year.
In 2023, we hosted the second Auto Show specifically for families and women. The event was a huge success and allowed 1200 attendees to view 30 popular family vehicles in a fun, non-salesy environment. We installed carseats in most cars so families could get a real look at how a vehicle could function for them. In addition to the cars, we had food trucks, local boutiques and vendors, music and sponsor activations to make for such a fun outing for families!
