The annual Fort Myers RV show and the Fort Myers PRCA Rodeo are two of the biggest events in North Fort Myers.
Unfortunately, the public will have to wait until 2022 to see them again, as this past week it was announced that both have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 36th annual Fort Myers RV show, which was scheduled to run from Thursday through Sunday, brought more than 12,000 people to the Lee Civic Center last year. with 13 dealers and more than 100 vendor booths.
However, COVID had an indirect impact on them, according to RV News, a website dedicated to the RV industry, as many dealers reported inventories that were too low to be able to bring their models and other products to Fort Myers. This was caused to manufacturer supply chain problems, according to the Florida RV Trade Association, FRVTA.
