The BC Interior RV Show is back. Mark your calendars for April 26 – 28, 2013 for the Annual BC Interior RV Show – the best RV show in the Interior.
In 2012, the inaugural event was host to over 10,000 visitors from all over the Pacific Northwest. Net proceeds were donated to the Salvation Army Community Food Bank along with over 1,200 lbs of non-perishable food. There were hourly information sessions; 10 large format RV dealer displays in three different buildings; support vehicles, boats and mini trailers displayed in the Memorial Arena; three parts departments, door prizes, give-aways and a variety of exhibitors with products and services to enhance the RV experience. The event was fantastic.
As the 2013 event draws closer, excitement for the show grows daily with more vendors coming on board. The volunteer society is increasing the number of seminars, suppliers, and adding some live entertainment. Exhibitors will again be hosting a number of draws and all attendees who keep their wristband on will have two-for-one access to the City of Penticton Recreation Centre swimming pool and fitness centre during the days of the event.
Again this year, the net proceeds from your $5 wristband will be donated to charity. The non-transferable wristband will allow you to come and go from the event over the three days plus visit all of venues on the 4-acre complex. You will need all the time during the 3-day event to view the hundreds of units over the 80,000 sq ft of indoor space; attend the various sessions; view the different vendor booths; enter all of the draws and reconnect with your RV-traveling friends. Wristbands are available for purchase on-site - cash only - at the entrance of the South Okanagan Event Centre (SOEC) and the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre (PTCC).
There will be a lot to explore in the SOEC Complex in Penticton, BC. You can start with major RV suppliers located on the plaza of the main entrance, inside the SOEC Arena and in the Okanagan Hockey School (OHS) Arena. Then travel down the corridor to the PTCC to view over 40 different RV related exhibitors; listen to the information sessions and view more 2013 models. Finally, end your day with a visit to the Memorial Arena, which will again be host to vehicle suppliers, smaller recreational vehicles and boats.
“If you are already a member of the RV community or have dreams of enjoying the unique RV experience, this is a must see event, mark it on your calendar and come down to the biggest RV show in the Okanagan.” says BC Interior RV Society Chairperson Al Mullins.
