Queensland-based Australian Events Director Bob Carroll today urged local Mackay businesses to throw their support behind the 12-14 September “Mackay Caravan, Camping and Boating Expo plus Spring Home Show.”
The event will be held at the Mackay Showgrounds and will profile the products and services of some 150 exhibitors from across Queensland and as far afield as Victoria.
Mackay residents can anticipate a breathtaking range of caravans, camper trailers, off-road vehicles, motor bikes, camping equipment, banking and finance products, pools, tourism, solar solutions, sheds, skin care, tanks, and one hundred other items.
As well there will be exciting free daily entertainment, onsite food courts and some great prizes to be won.
Mr Carroll said “the event gives Mackay retailers the opportunity to exhibit at the Show/Expo at affordable prices and to show locals just how competitive and diverse the Mackay retail sector is.
“These days there is much talk about online shopping but the simple fact is that shopping locally is more convenient plus you have the advantage of enjoying friendly customer service and accessibility.
“Sustainable communities come about because locals support local businesses and I would urge Mackay residents to continue to do that and to take the opportunity to say hello to the many local retailers who will be at the Show/Expo,” he concluded.
The Mackay event is one of many regional events that Australian Events convenes and just this year the company has noticed a substantial increase in the number of exhibitors and visitors.
Mr Carroll reported that just last weekend in Rockhampton a record 15,000 locals visited a similar show and the Saturday attendance was the largest recorded on a Saturday in the company’s long history of event organisation.
A handful of exhibition sites remain. Mackay and district retailers with an interest in exhibiting are urged to telephone the Australian Events on 1800 671 588 or check out the website at www.australianevents.com.au
