Ron Hoover will host their 18th Annual Open House next week, Thursday, January 16 and Friday, January 17. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. The annual open house is a very popular event in the Rio Grande Valley, drawing in thousands of people each year.
Dustin Hoover said this event is the largest attended dealer open house in the nation, in the RV and marine industries. The event has been known to draw in about 10,000 people during the two-day open house.
Each year the event hands out free t-shirts while supplies last. There will also be free hot dogs, free admission, free parking, and free fun.
Dustin says, this is just one way to show appreciation to the Winter Texan community each year, as well as others in the community.
This is an event where there is something for everyone. There will be games, door prizes, tents full of vendors, and music. Everyone has fun, and people usually end up dancing in the open area in between eating, walking through the tents, and touring the many RVs and boats on the lot.
One big prize will be given away each day. Main prizes will be winner’s choice of a Bad Boy Mower, a HiSun ATV, or a cargo trailer. Winners are announced at the end of each day. You must be present to win.
Dustin invites everyone to come out and see the enormous selection of RVs, boats, and more.
On site there will be special sales, including a flea-market sale on all the extras Ron Hoover has collected throughout the year. These items include parts, hitches, household items, and more. All items will be sold at bargain, cash and carry style. This is your chance to get some stuff ridiculously cheap.
There will also be factory reps there, said Dustin, helping with deals and trades. He added that there will be more reps on hand than ever before, and the “lowest interest rate in three years, and the pricing on RVs we haven’t seen in five years.” This is a great opportunity for attendees to check out their RV units in stock and see deals on 2024 inventory.
A couple of new items will be there this year. There will be a money machine for free money grabs. There will also be Bingo games – “that should be fun.” Attendees participating will be playing for prizes and money raised will be donated to a local non-profit.
As with previous year, Ron Hoover has partnered with a local non-profit to support. Vendors fees for the event will be going directly to this organization. The last few years, the event has helped raise over $25,000 for the South Texas Juvenile Diabetes Association.
Ron Hoover RV & Marine Center is located at 101 Expressway 83 in Donna (on the south side of the expressway). Parking will be available along North Ave. behind Ron Hoover. Golf cart shuttling will be provided on both days. If you’re coming from the west, take the Main St. exit. If you’re coming from the east, take the Hutto exit.
