We showed up to our first-ever MOORE Expo at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield, MO — and Mother Nature had other plans. A violent storm rolled through mid-event, forcing us to pack up our campsite and take shelter inside one of the exhibition halls. We're calling it character-building. 🌩️ What is MOORE Expo? It's the Midwest's premier annual gathering for overlanders, off-road enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers — packed with 150+ vendors, creator meetups, expert-led training courses, and some of the most impressive overland rigs we've ever seen under one roof.
