The first half of the year is the season for home shows, and 2011 is proving to be a milestone for those featuring manufactured housing. Following the successful Louisville Manufactured Housing Show in Kentucky, work is underway to bring the return of another event featuring the economy and innovations of the industry to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Closing the Convention Center doors of the Kentucky Exposition Center behind him, MHMSM.com Publisher L.A. ‘Tony’ Kovach headed for Oklahoma to meet with the team doing the groundwork for a successful event in that state. “This is the world’s largest indoor manufactured housing event, and it promises to be one of the best yet,” Kovach says, adding that making it great requires intricate planning. “When you have some 30 homes and 50 booths, plus seminars, contests, incentives and much more, you have to plan for everything—that includes on-site registration, traffic flow, timing, security, ease of set-up and more.” The Great Southwest Home Show will be held April 28 to May 1 at the QuikTrip Center at Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
