This year’s event is scheduled Wednesday, July 16 through Sunday, July 20, 2014.
“We have started the countdown sequence as we prepare to host our WIT members for another memorable rally,” said Winnebago Consumer Engagement Manager Denise Yeager. “1969 was a year that not only launched our first WIT GNR, but also marked the first landing on the moon. We have a very special celebration this year as we celebrate these historic events. WIT members are already rolling into the rally grounds here in Forest City preparing to get reacquainted with old friends and meet some new ones as well.”
Held at the rally grounds across from Winnebago Industries’ headquarters in Forest City, this year’s rally is full of fun adventures and learning experiences, including a visit from NASA’s Orion Project and the University of Iowa’s Mobile Museum.
In addition, GNR attendees will participate in a number of activities, including special, in-depth building tours of Winnebago Industries’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, informative seminars, and of course, lots of entertainment. Evening entertainment throughout the week include the musical artists Rivoli Review, local comedy/singing duo Tina and Lena and an out of this world performance by world reknowned, Jefferson Starship.
Select vendors also participate in the GNR through displays and over 100 different informative seminar sessions throughout the rally. In addition, new 2015 Winnebago, Itasca, Winnebago Touring Coach motor homes and Winnebago towables will also be on display, including brand new models such as the Brave and Tribute whose design harkens back to 1969 with a vibrant retro design with modern state of the art features. Rally participants looking for that hands-on feel, are also able to ride and drive some of the new 2015 units while they’re here.
Membership in the WIT Club is open to anyone who owns a Winnebago Industries motor home or towable product. There are currently more than 12,000 Club members. WIT Club members are eligible for special member benefits and can also participate in local, state, regional and special interest clubs, and receive special discount pricing on Winnebago Outdoor Adventure events and caravans.
