The 2023 RV/MH Hall of Fame induction dinner is coming up Monday, Aug. 21, and reservations are being taken now. Festivities that evening begin with the cocktail mixer kicking off at 5:30 p.m. ET.
The Hall of Fame is once again expecting a large crowd this year with strong anticipation for this year’s inductee class and excitement surrounding the on-going development of the Hall of Fame’s campus. The hall is also looking for sponsorship partners, which range from $500 to $25,000 opportunities. Sponsorships opportunities can be cemented at the same link as above and are vital in allowing the Hall of Fame to make this annual ceremony as grand as possible.
When asked about what is new this year, Hall of Fame president Darryl Searer responded, “Two years ago was special because the pandemic caused us to have a dual class ceremony and last year was special with the dinner happening in conjunction with the grand opening of the Scoular MH Museum and the Hall of Fame’s 50th year celebration. This year will have a different buzz because, with the induction of Tin-Can-Tourist founders Forrest and Jeri Bone, a vintage trailer rally of over 50 campers will being happening simultaneously with the dinner. Guests will be greeted with a slew of high-quality vintage units as they enter the grand hallway. Guests will also have the opportunity to see the new convention hall being constructed, adding 36,000 square of state-of-the-art event space, and completing the campus. This year will certainly have another exciting flair.”
