The international organization for RV owners, FMCA, is scheduled to revisit the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond, Oregon, in 2024. FMCA will proudly present its 109th International Convention & RV Expo from August 14 to 17, 2024 in the Pacific Northwest - welcoming RV owners from all across Canada and the United States.
Having organized five successful events in the past at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds, FMCA has established a commendable track record at this venue.
“We’re very excited to be returning to the Northwest and to the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. FMCA hasn’t hosted an event there since 2014, and I can tell you, the town has really grown up during the past 10 years. Our attendees will love everything the area has to offer,” said Doug Uhlenbrock, FMCA director of events.
“The Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center is a fantastic facility for an FMCA convention, and I can’t wait to begin working with the outstanding staff there to come up with plans for our show,” he added. “They are thrilled to have us back and will roll out the red carpet for our attendees. It’s going to be an incredible event.”
Set on 320-plus acres in the heart of Central Oregon, the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center seems tailor-made for an FMCA RV owners gathering. Approximately 100 acres of parking are available, and RV owners enjoy a spectacular view of seven snowcapped mountain peaks during their stay. Clean, attractive facilities accommodate the various convention activities, and beautifully landscaped grounds make for pleasant strolling between venues and events. Plus, the warm, sunny days and cool nights afforded by Central Oregon’s climate add to the appeal.
FMCA conventions aren’t just for members. The association invites all RV owners to join the festivities. And those who are considering the RV lifestyle or are just curious have an opportunity to take part as well. During an FMCA convention, RV owners roll into the host facility in their homes on wheels and set up camp, creating a new neighborhood seemingly overnight.
One key element of the event is the RV Expo. Major RV manufacturers and dealers bring the latest models and invite convention attendees and area residents to stop by for a tour. RVs in all shapes and sizes will be open for inspection during show hours. RV-related accessories, components, services, and other products of interest to travelers will be available as well.
When they aren’t shopping, attendees take in seminars, enjoy entertainment, and socialize with others who share their love of the RV lifestyle.
Association leaders and staff currently are preparing for a return visit to the CAM-PLEX Multi-Event Facilities in Gillette, Wyoming, August 23 through 26, 2023, for the 107th convention.
