ANTICIPATION is already rising for
the 34th annual Home & Products
Extravaganza March 6-8 at the Mississippi
Trade Mart in Jackson. After the tremendous
response and participation in 2008,
organizers are confident this upcoming
home show will be the best yet.
Sponsored by the Home Builders Association
of Mississippi, the event is the state’s
oldest and largest continuous home show.
The weekend display, which opens to the
public Saturday, March 7, will feature a
great variety of booths, offering guests
much to peruse, whether they’re building
a new home, remodeling a home or just
browsing the very latest available. Of
course, Mississippi builders eager to view
the most innovative products and cuttingedge
services will not be disappointed.

Exhibitor success
Attracting more than 6,000 attendees

“We met a lot of customers and
gave out 500 business cards. Lots
of folks drove straight to our
shop from Extravaganza!”
– Jim Kopernak, Owner, Old House Depot Architectural Salvage
A first-time exhibitor in 2008, Wes Teten
of Bath Fitter in Jackson remarked, “The
Home & Products Extravaganza is the
single best advertising for one weekend
that money can buy.”
Old House Depot Architectural Salvage
