The Florida RV Trade Association (FRVTA) Board of Directors has voted to cancel Industry Day at the 2021 Florida RV SuperShow, scheduled for next month. The five public days of the show will still take place Wednesday, Jan. 13 – Sunday, Jan. 17 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.
“We’ve had a number of exhibitors request extra time to set up,” said FRVTA Show Director Lesa Colvin. “Plus, the extra day will give us more time to get ready for the five public days. We will be instituting a lot of new measures to make sure the show is a clean and safe environment for the public as well as our exhibitors”.
Holding the show amid COVID-19 prompted some changes. This includes temperature checks for exhibitors and attendees as well as masks required inside buildings and RVs. Sanitizer and wash stations will also be located throughout the show. Social distancing will be enforced and both supplier buildings and RVs will be sanitized and cleaned regularly during the event.
Dave Kelly, FRVTA executive director said it was a tough decision to cancel Industry Day but the board did what they thought was the right thing.
“I hope everyone can understand this is not a typical year; we are concentrating all of our efforts into holding the most successful public show we can. Any extra time we can have to make sure we are ready to welcome the public is appreciated this year”.
