Motor Trend Auto Shows Inc. and the Mississippi Automobile Dealers’ Association are planning an auto show in Jackson next January. The event will run January 23-26, 2009, at the Capital City Convention Center, which is under construction now in downtown Jackson. Here are a few more details from a Motor Trend news release:
“The Mississippi International Auto Show represents many ‘firsts’ for us,” said Bill Lehman, president of the Mississippi Automobile Dealers’ Association. “Not only will Mississippi be hosting the state’s first-ever international auto ahow, but the show is scheduled to be the inaugural event held in the Convention Center. This is a big deal for our state and a real plus for our Capital City.”
A first-class auto show in Mississippi had been in the idea stage for several years.
“Finding the right location, with enough floor space, was very important,” continued Lehman. “The selection of Motor Trend as our show producer and the opening of a first-class Convention Center downtown both made the show possible.”
