Speaking of multi-purpose events, why not check out some boats while you’re at it? RVing and boating often go hand in hand, so this is a great place to research some of the best new brands. North Dakota is also full of great campgrounds and resorts for you to visit during your stay, so enjoy exploring the area.
The Red River Valley event showcases wonderful new models of boats, campers, and trailers. A lot of these brands are locally owned as well. In addition, there’s plenty of equipment for hunting, fishing, and camping on display. No matter what you like to do outdoors, this event will have something for you.
FEB 2 AT 1 PM – FEB 16 AT 12 PM
