It is with a heavy heart, to pass on that we are not having any more Prepper Expo's this year. My wife and Kjersti "kj", we set a timeline to get sponsor(s) for this year, and there has been no replies.
The last 3 years have been a great community, Speakers/Vendors/ and guests that came both near and far and who returned every year, to partake in an idea that I had. We are so glad that we ran with it. But, now we need to take the time to get our own preps in order for the future.
We ENJOYED and loved the company of everyone we have met along the way, to all the people that helped make these shows possible every year, making it work as it did. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss all of you, from the Gate to the campfire time.
In some circles, 2026 is being named the "Year of the Prepper", we believe it is time to get our personal preps in order and pray that you all do the same.
Much love and respect,
Love, The McKinley's
Troy, Kjersti and Danielle
