A dozen downtown merchants gathered in the conference room at the Broadway Theater for an informational meeting in Rock Springs, Wyoming, recently regarding this summer’s upcoming Airstream Club International Rally.
Rock Springs Main Street/Urban Renewal Agency and Sweetwater Events Complex hosted the meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
According to Sweetwater Events Complex director Kandi Pendleton and Tammy Musgrave, events and community service coordinator, approximately 1300 units will be arriving in Rock Springs and checking in at the Sweetwater Events Complex between June 21-June 24. Their schedule is wide open until the opening ceremony at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 24.
There will be scheduled events and seminars onsite at the complex for members of the Airstream Club International Rally, but members will have plenty of time to explore Sweetwater County, according to Musgrave.
Aside from coffee and doughnuts in the mornings, meals are not provided. While the rally site will have local food trucks available the expectation is that many people will travel into town for meals beverages and shopping.
The Sweetwater County Events Complex has offered extended Stay and Play packages July 1- July 16 to encourage visitors to extend their stay and enjoy all Rock Springs and Sweetwater County has to offer. Representatives from the complex expect as many as 50% of the visitors to extend their stay by at least a few days, with many staying an extra two weeks. They will be completely free of a schedule and looking for places to go and things to do.
