Attendance Up at the Battle Creek Camper & RV Show
Despite frigid temperatures, the Battle Creek Camper & RV Show brought out RV and camping enthusiasts to the Kellogg Arena in downtown Battle Creek this past weekend. Five MARVAC dealers and twelve booth exhibitors participated in this year’s show. Attendance was up 2% over the 2014 show and dealers reported strong sales throughout the weekend. Larry’s RV Center owner Jim Eccelton was very pleased with the number of sales they made during the four day show. His display included the Shasta Airflyte 1961 replica, which was a hit among both the older and younger RV aficionados! A lot of good memories were brought to mind by this unique travel trailer. A recent update to Kellogg Arena made this show even more pleasant for both exhibitor and dealers.
