The Newmar Kountry Klub 2020 International Rally has been cancelled out of concern surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual event scheduled for Aug. 23-28, 2020 in Rock Springs, Wyoming, will not happen. Newmar Corporation and the Kountry Klub Board of Directors announced the cancellation on Friday, April 17.
“Although we are certain that this virus’ impact on safety and daily life will run its course, the uncertainty regarding its duration has brought us to this difficult decision,” Newmar announced. “We are hopeful all members that made plans to attend this year’s event, understand the serious nature of this situation and will agree that this is the most responsible decision for everyone involved.”
The Kountry Klub will host its 2021 International Rally in Lewisburg, West Virginia on July 18-22, 2021.
The group encouraged industry professionals to check their emails in the coming months for updates regarding next year’s event and other Newman happenings.
According to Newmar, the company’s focus “continues to be the safety of our employees as well as the Newmar owners that routinely visit our service department and other facilities here in Nappanee.”
