“Celebrating Sixty” Convention Recap

FMCA held its 107th International Convention & RV Expo, nicknamed “Celebrating Sixty”, on August 23-26, 2023. The event was held at the CAM-PLEX Multi-Event Facilities in Gillette, Wyoming.  It was the fourth time FMCA has held a convention in Gillette, and convention attendees were excited to return to the Cowboy State.

From the moment the first RVs started to arrive on-site until departure day, attendees could definitely feel the excitement around this convention. This year marked FMCA’s 60th Anniversary, and members were ready to help celebrate this milestone. 

 

From the educational seminars and crafts to the on-site RV displays and exhibitor halls, there were plenty of activities for everyone. The daytime and evening entertainment were very popular among the attendees as well. 

Each day of the convention was filled with seminars on topics ranging from technical product guides, to trip planning, working from the road, and various lifestyle topics.
Shoppers had a selection of RVs to tour all week,  with displays from some of the industry’s leading manufacturers.

“Feelin’ Groovy Friday” was also a hit. On the second to last day of the event, convention-goers were encouraged to dawn their grooviest outfits and participate in multiple social events throughout the day. The day started with our Magic Mile and ended with the Feelin’ Groovy Parade sponsored by SmartHub Sensors and the Good Vibrations Chapterfest featuring music from Kazual. 

FMCA raised $17,350 for the Energy Capital Habitat for Humanity, during the Magic Mile walkathon, Driven to Care Silent Auction, and other auctions at evening entertainment.
