The 2012 RV and Boat Show is at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena this weekend with more than 30 vendors to inform recreational enthusiasts of new products and services.
Lynn Butler, owner of Setzers World of Camping, said the expo is an annual event that has been around since 1980.
"RV dealers have been doing this show for at least 30 years," Butler said. "It used to be run by promoters but now the RV dealers are putting it together."
Jeff Scott, show coordinator, said this is a record-breaking year for vendors.
"This show will have the most vendors than any other show we've held in the past," Scott said. "Last year, we had 24 vendors, and this year we will have 31."
The vendors will preview new products and services for the 2012 recreation season.
"Kentucky Parks will be at the show this weekend to talk about some new activities they will have," Scott said. "They are going to start rappel lines, zip lines and kayaking. They will also give out more information on upcoming caving weekends."
In addition to RV and boat vendors, Mardi Gras Casino and Resort will have a booth to promote the dog races.
The expo will be 5 p.m. through 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. through 9 p.m. Saturday and noon through 5 p.m. Sunday.
