Call 911
When you call the emergency number, 911, tell the dispatcher your location.

To aid emergency personnel in locating the site of an emergency in a parking area, persons needing help should turn on their RV's emergency flashers and sound their horns.

Fire Emergency
In the event of an RV fire emergency, please evacuate by foot. Do not attempt to move your RV, because this may present a dangerous situation for fire equipment attempting to enter the area, as well as for others attempting to evacuate on foot.

Emergency Numbers
Give the following telephone number to friends or relatives who may need to contact you during the “Return To Perry: Lafitte’s Lost Treasure” convention so you can be found in the event of an emergency. All attendees are to tape the Location QR Code Card you received in your confirmation packet, that is specific to your registration, in the lower left-hand corner of your motorhome’s or towing vehicle’s windshield so the code faces out. After you are parked, members of FMCA’s Parking Team will scan the QR Code Card to register the location of your RV onsite, in the event FMCA personnel need to locate you.

Please be courteous when operating golf carts, mopeds, scooters, Segways, and other motorized vehicles around the grounds.

Continued violations may result in removal from the grounds.

Attention: The speed limit for mopeds, motorbikes, golf carts, Segways, scooters, and bicycles is 5 mph while on the grounds. This speed limit will be strictly enforced.

During your registration for the event, you indicated that you wished to have your confirmation packet held at Will Call. The confirmation packet includes several items that you should have before you arrive in Perry. We thought it would be a good idea to provide you with all the pre- convention information that other attendees have received through the mail to make sure you are up to speed with all that is planned for the event.

The will-call confirmation packet information will be emailed on Wednesday, January 28. If you do not receive the information, please contact the FMCA Events Department at (800) 543-3622.

Start your morning with some good old-fashioned exercise and camaraderie! Join fellow FMCA members for The Magic Mile, a 1-mile course that will take you through the fairgrounds, giving you a chance to see the different areas of the convention. Participants are welcome to walk, run, or ride mobility scooters. You can even bring your furry four-legged friends! The best part about The Magic Mile? It's for a good cause! All of the proceeds raised from registration fees will be donated directly to a charity in the local area. To sign up for The Magic Mile, click here.

If you have not already completed the Covid-19 Waiver, please complete the form below.

In the unlikely event of severe weather, show attendees will be asked to move to First Interstate Bank Center, Coastal Pavilion, concrete restroom buildings, or the closest indoor structure to their location. If severe weather occurs after activities end for the day, every effort will be made to unlock all the facilities. We ask that you secure your site— collapse your easy-ups, tie down sails, lower your awnings, tie down or remove loose objects, and bring pets inside.

FMCA will make announcements on the public address system of the fairgrounds and issue push notifications for those using the FMCA event app. (Available in early July 2024)

A limited number of wheelchairs will be available from the Information Center. Wheelchairs are on loan to FMCA members at no charge.

Equivalent utilities/services at a future event may not be available at a particular venue, so the closest option will be provided.
