Looking back through ten years of pictures, one thing keeps coming to mind: MARS is a family. 💚💜
These photos hold so much more than convention memories, trips to SEMA, and trade shows. They hold friendships, laughter, late-night conversations, and moments we’re still talking about years later. And, of course, no trip down memory lane would be complete without our legendary Mama Mars, who has made so many people feel like they belong.
We show up for one another. At work. At home. When someone celebrates a wedding, welcomes a child, or reaches a milestone they’ve worked hard for. And when tragedy strikes, we show up then, too—with a phone call, a helping hand, or simply someone willing to listen.
There honestly hasn’t been a single week that we haven’t talked with at least one fellow Martian by phone, text, or email. The connections carry on long after everyone heads home.
Even our vendors have become dear friends. When they ask, “When is convention? We need to put it on our calendar!” it means the world to us. They look forward to being together just as much as we do.
As we share these pictures, we want to hear the stories behind them—and the ones we never caught on camera.
What has your experience with MARS been like? Do you have a favorite convention memory, a SEMA story, a Mama Mars moment, or a time another Martian showed up for you?
Share your favorite MARS story in the comments, add a picture if you have one, and tag someone who helped make that memory special.
To everyone in these photos, and everyone who has been part of the journey: thank you for being our family. 👽💚💜 @ [977393033991578:49210:]
