Adventure awaits at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center,
August 14 through 17, as more than
700 RVs roll into town and a new neighborhood focused on fun and
outdoor recreation pops up seemingly overnight.
CINCINNATI, July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Members of
FMCA, the world's largest nonprofit association for
recreation vehicle owners, will gather in Redmond, Oregon, August 14
through 17, 2024, to enjoy good times and activities related
to RV life. More than 700 RVs will converge on
the Deschutes County
Fair & Expo Center for FMCA's 109th International
Convention & RV Expo Presented By Beaver Coach Sales,
with the theme "Adventure Peaks." The event isn't just for
FMCA members. Anyone interested in the RV lifestyle is
invited to participate.
"RV travel is all about embracing the
spirit of adventure and the fun and freedom that come with it.
We're welcoming all current RV owners plus those considering
purchasing an RV to join us in Redmond in August as we host this super-size
RV event."
"RV travel is all about embracing the spirit of adventure and
the fun and freedom that come with it. We're welcoming all current
RV owners plus those considering purchasing an RV to join us in
Redmond in August as we host this
super-size RV event," said Doug
Uhlenbrock, FMCA director of events. "There's no better way
to learn about RVing and to celebrate RV life while spending time
with some fantastic people who share your passion for exploring
North America by RV."
One key activity during the four-plus days of the event will be
an extraordinary RV Expo, with some of the latest RVs on display,
along with a large assemblage of related products and services. In
addition, attendees can soak up knowledge; approximately 100
seminar sessions with topics ranging from chassis maintenance and
RV solar systems to full-time RVing and convection-microwave
cooking will be presented. Daytime and evening entertainment and
social activities will fill the schedule as well.
As noted, members of the public are encouraged to join the
festivities. Various options are available. Folks who already own
an RV are invited to come stay on site in their home on wheels to
take full advantage of all the activities. The gate registration
price for that is $270 and also
grants RV owners who are new to FMCA a one-year FMCA membership.
(An additional fee is charged for electric.)
Individuals considering the purchase of an RV may wish to come
just for the RV Expo and tour the recreation vehicles and other
exhibits. Single-day admission for the RV Expo costs $10 per person or $25 for a family of three or more; children 12
and under are admitted free with an accompanying adult. Individuals
with an active military ID are admitted free as well. RV Expo
exhibit hours are Wednesday, August
14, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.;
Thursday and Friday, August 15 and
16, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; and
Saturday, August 17, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The day pass for
Wednesday, August 14, also will be
good for Thursday, August 15.
For a deeper immersion, FMCA suggests that individuals sign up
for a Daily Passport that covers not only the RV Expo but all
seminars and entertainment (everything but on-site RV parking). A
Daily Passport costs $50 per day per
person.
On Friday, August 16, a seminar
geared expressly for people exploring the idea of RV ownership will
take place with a panel of RV owners sharing their knowledge. "RV
Curious? Come Join Us!" will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Lava Room of the
South Sister Building (Seminar 5). This seminar is open to
everyone, especially non-owners who are at the event to find out
more about the RV lifestyle.
Free public parking will be available by following the signs to
the Passport/Public Parking area near the Galloway Lane Public Gate
off Central Oregon Drive.
