Despite Weather, Vendors Pleased with Quartzsite RV Show
QUARTZSITE, Ariz. – The 41st annual Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show wrapped up this past weekend and, according to several vendors and exhibitors, the show was generally a positive – despite spotty weather over the course of the show that ran from Jan. 20-28.
Indeed, Monday, Jan. 22, was a day of continuous rain to the point where water ran through the 610-foot tent that is the cornerstone of the event. While the normally warm weather is a draw for RVers, particularly those who may spend weeks or even months in the area, the rain can also keep them hunkered down.
“There was a bit of a weather issue,” said Kimmy King, the show’s promoter and daughter of the late founder Kenny King. “Some of my longtime vendors say sales are a bit down, but they’re still happy as can be given the world that we’re living in today with everything being more expensive.”
