Tucson FMCA Cancelled

[Ken_C]

I just received a text from FMCA announcing that they are cancelling the upcoming rally in Tucson AZ.

Cancellation is going to be a nightmare. Lots of contracts signed well beforehand, lots of refunds going to have to go out. At least they had two weeks. I heard many State Parks are closing now too. It will also be interesting to see how the stores will fare. Lots of empty shelves. Buy from China and you can't get the mdse to restock your store. The ones who purchase US goods are still stocked. Seems like every election year we experience some type of world ending event. Sure glad the killer bees, fire ants, SARS, swine flu etc etc. didn't get me. Interesting times for sure.......Dennis

Yup, a prudent decision in light of the current health threat from COVID-19.

Here is the statement on FMCA's home page:https://fmca.com/


With escalating concern regarding the COVID-19 virus, and the Tucson mayor’s recommendation on March 12, 2020, that large gatherings be postponed, on Friday, March 13, 2020, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern, FMCA's Board of Directors voted to cancel FMCA's 101st International Convention and RV Expo set to take place March 26 through 29 in Tucson, Arizona. We understand that you will have questions, but ask that you please remain patient as we make arrangements for this unprecedented situation. Additional communications will follow next week.
