My first Z Fest was 2014. I didn’t know a single person and ended up parking next to “Mad” Mike. He inspired me to start Ozarks Z Club, and you could say things went from there.

My first Z fest was 2010, I found out real quick that it wasn’t just about Z’s it was about family. I look forward to the family reunion every year!

This will be my 15th BZF and have not missed one. I got hooked on BZF because of the roads, Z family and informal get togethers in the parking lots. It’s all about the people I’ve met over the years and having BZF reunions every year.

My first Branson Z Fest was in 2019 when it combined with ZCON. Best crew I have had the chance to work with and support.

BZF has taught me that it’s the people that make the event not just the cars.
