Country music melodies will drift from the Forest River Expo stage during Elkhart Extravaganza. The manufacturer will host artists Ella Langley and Nate Smith on separate evenings at its display in Elkhart, Indiana.
Forest River CEO Pete Liegl said, “Open House is something very special for everyone here at Forest River, and we knew that bringing in two of country music’s brightest stars would make the event even more memorable.”
Langley will take the stage Sept. 24. She is known for songs including “Country Boy’s Dream Girl,” and “That’s Why We Fight.” Her debut album, Hungover, was released in August.
Smith will perform Sept. 25. He won the Academy of Country Music New Male Artist of the Year award in 2024.
Smith has three hit singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart: “Whiskey on You” (peaked at No. 11), “World on Fire,” (peaked at No. 6) and “Bulletproof” (peaked at No. 10). His 2021 song “Wildfire” went viral on TikTok, gaining over 3 million views and led to a record deal with Sony Music Nashville.
Smith also toured with country music stars Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell and Morgan Wallen.
Last year, Forest River brought American Idol winner Chayce Beckham and Grammy nominee Elle King to perform at Elkhart Extravaganza. The 2022 headliner was John Mellancamp.
The Forest River Expo will be held at the East to West production facility, 29861 Old US Highway 33 in Elkhart, and is by invitation only.
The manufacturer will provide food and beverages in addition to parts/service and warranty workshops, finance/marketing representative meetings and 15-minute massages in Priority One’s Relaxation Station.
