These off seasons are a great way to introduce Rookies to the FIRST competion.... and if you can try to invite potential and current sponsors to the event and/or travel with you. Sometimes it helps for people to see what they're "investing into" and maybe you'll get them hooked. Which means more money and you can go to even more off seasons!

Great Idea- invite sponsors, rookie team, potential rookie teams, and potential volunteers to an off-season event. The event also can give parents of students a better opportunity to see and touch their children's work.
Next year if you can make it a weekend event, a lot of schools will participate or just to show up to support FIRST on LI.
Have demos, robot contests, and robot/team games.
(sell T-shirts, drinks and snacks as fund-raiser too)
FIRST-oholics like me will be on your door steps!
I go to all the LI Regionals except last your because it was at the same time as the NYC Regional.
