We'd love to see you! Please RSVP below
This event will be a gathering of Marlin’s family, friends, loyal customers, and fans who have been touched by his legacy. It will be a few hours filled with memories, stories, and the camaraderie that Marlin so deeply valued. In honor of Marlin, we expect a magnificent display of off-road rigs brought by enthusiasts who wish to pay their respects to the person who founded the Rock Crawling industry as a send-off impromptu truck show for which there will be plenty of parking for.
Clovis Rodeo Grounds provides an ideal setting for this event. Centrally located in California and only 3 miles north of Fresno Yosemite International airport, nearby you’ll find the historic Old Town Clovis, which offers a wide range of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, hotels, antique stores and activities. This is especially convenient for those traveling from out of town, including international visitors who want to join us in celebrating Marlin’s life.
