Columbus, Ohio, was cold and brisk Saturday morning, and salt left over from snow removal stained the pavement beneath the steady foot traffic heading into the Ohio Expo Center.
But inside the Celeste Center and Bricker Building, visitors dreamed of warmer temperatures and long days spent outdoors as they took in gleaming new boats and pontoons and peeked their heads into sprawling new campers and RVs at the Ohio RV and Boat Show.
This weekend marks the return of the annual show, which took a hiatus in 2021 amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. It is the 42nd year for the show, which is sponsored by the Central Ohio Marine Dealers Association and the Central Ohio Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association.
“It’s been nonstop,” show manager Tim Luckhaupt said Saturday morning. On Friday, the show’s opening day, attendance was 18 percent over the opening Friday from 2020, he said. “We’re very optimistic about this show.”
