Are rumors of a big rally holding true so far?

Posted:

Some early season reservation numbers lead to high expectations for this year's Sturgis Rally.

A spokesperson for Black Hills Central Reservations says reservations for camping and hotels are slightly up this year.

Sturgis Rally Spokeswoman Christina Steele says so far they have issued nearly 300 vendor licenses, which is on par with last year. But, they expect those numbers to increase rapidly beginning Friday.

People on the streets in Sturgis though say it feels slower than normal.

"It hasn't been real slow, but it hasn't been booming. Rally will be a good year this year," said Edward Taylor, an employee at a vendor stand just off Main St.

Vendors and rally workers remain hopeful though with the higher number of reservations.
