With New Look In New Location
The Mississippi Wildlife Federation is pleased to announce that Mississippi's oldest and most recognized Outdoor Show is back – with a new look in a brand new location. The 34th Annual Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza is set for July 30th - Aug 1st, 2021, and will be hosted at the brand-new Refuge Resort & Conference Center in Flowood, one of the fastest-growing suburbs in MS, just outside Jackson, MS.
The Ganza will play host to many historic crowd-favorite exhibitions, demonstrations, and contests such as the ever-popular Magnolia Records Big Buck contest, Jason Reynolds and his famous High-flying Retrievers, the Catch and Fetch Catfish Handgrabbin’ tanks, but will focus on shooting sports, angling & outdoor experiences and gear with hands-on training, demonstrations, and entertainment options within the new area designated for youth and children also containing age-appropriate rides and games.
MWF CEO Ashlee Ellis Smith says “We are thrilled to be able to host this annual kickoff to hunting season once again. It’s something that wildlife enthusiasts across the state, and especially young budding hunters and anglers really look forward to, and their parents look forward to taking them to, all year long. We are committed to making this the most hunting-, fishing- and kid-centric Extravaganza ever, and are sure that people are going to love the new location at the Refuge Resort in Flowood.”
Sponsor & Exhibitor Event and Information:
The new Ganza venue will have the unique ability for vendors to lodge onsite. The Ganza will host a Saturday night Sponsor & Exhibitor Party at the resort and will have an Exhibitor Hospitality Suite as well as a Sponsor Hospitality Suite open all weekend onsite.
About the Facility:
The new Refuge Resort features an upscale, 200-room Sheraton Hotel connected to the conference center, two restaurants, 10th-floor bar/entertainment area, gorgeous pool and pool deck with a swim-up bar and lazy river, newly redesigned pro golf course, and the conference center, which includes 2 large exhibit halls, 3 seminar rooms, and 2 exhibition hallways. Best of all, there is tons of beautiful outdoor exhibition space adjacent to the conference center that has grass and trees overlooking a 12-acre lake. This outdoor space will provide the opportunity to showcase trucks, tractors, ATV's/UTV's, golf carts, outdoor power equipment, shooting houses, boats, duck blinds, or any outside products while simulating outdoor wildlife settings.
About MWF:
The Mississippi Wildlife Federation was founded in 1946 by hunters, for hunters to protect Mississippi’s hunting and fishing rights, its wildlife population, and the state’s natural resources. It has gone through a tremendous overhaul in the last couple of years with a new CEO, new staff, and many changes to their Board of Directors, which is made up of hunters/anglers/outdoorsmen/outdoorswomen who are fully committed to taking MWF back to its original roots. It is committed to training our youth to be responsible stewards of our wildlife resources and how to safely enjoy shooting sports and angling. MWF and MS Outdoor Expo, LLC will be working around the clock to ensure this year’s Ganza is a huge success, both for the attendees, and its exhibitors and sponsors.
MWF is working with established MS show promoters, Dan Robinson and Rob Neblett, of Mississippi Outdoor Expo, LLC. For more information on the 2021 Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza, please call:
