46th annual WBAY RV and Camping Show
The 46th annual WBAY RV and Camping Show thursday afternoon. This year as attendance is expected to be strong, maybe even so with a slumping economy.
Rick Walker set up his station for Yogi’s Bear Jellystone Park at the show. He’s confident setting up his campground will succeed even in this slow economy.
Walker says “Reservation are coming in fine. I think people are staying closer to home, the family atmosphere that we create. Everything will be fine for us.”
Russ Drake of Van Boxtel RV said regarding economic storm adjustments “We have been able to arrange with certain banks financing that’s important. You know, these are objects that usually require financing. They’re selling smaller recreational vehicles.”
There are lot of manufacturers are making them smaller, making them lighter, and they’re putting more amenities in them. People with small SUVs and the minivans can pull these trailers around.
Drake added, “I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and it seems like the last thing that people will willingly give up is their leisure-time activities. “
The WBAY RV and Camping Show runs thursday through Sunday at the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena and Shopko Hall across from Lambeau Field.
