Exhibitor interest in the 2014 Mid-South Forestry Equipment Show has been good since space was made available earlier this year, with new space bookings coming in regularly, according to Misty Booth, Show Manager.

The biennial event, which is celebrating its 30-year history this year, is set for September 19-20 at the Burkhardt Pavilion and on the Starr Memorial Forest near Starkville, Miss. The family-friendly event incorporates equipment technology; continuing education classes for loggers and foresters; forest management tips for landowners; the Caterpillar (Prentice) loader championship; Log-A-Load for Kids fundraisers; and special activities for kids. On-line pre-registration ($15) will open June 23 at midsouthforestry.org; admission is $20 at the gate.

“The show attracted 5,500 attendees, guests and exhibitors in 2012—a record turnout—and with an improving economy, we hope to set a new record this year,” says Booth. “I encourage potential exhibitors to lock in space soon, as the prime spaces are going fast.”
