Center generated more
than $37m impact in 2012
In 1991, the City of Hattiesburg and the
Hattiesburg Convention Commission
began working toward the creation of
a Hattiesburg Convention Center that
would boost the economy on the local
and state levels and facilitate growth in
Hattiesburg. With a primary focus on
the development of a convention
center that would be the finest in the
State of Mississippi, the Commission
began the task of building something
First-Class Facility Management
not before found in our community.
Much evaluation, community input and
study was conducted to ensure the
investment would produce dynamic
results many years into the future.
In July 1998, as testimony to the hard
work that was put into its creation,
Lake Terrace celebrated its grand
opening. Fifteen years later, Lake
Terrace has helped show more than
two and a half million visitors what
Hattiesburg has to offer and has
brought these visitors back time and

time again to enjoy Hattiesburg’s signature
hospitality. In 2012 alone, the Center hosted
well over a quarter of a million guests during
1,119 event days, generating $37 million in
economic impact in Hattiesburg’s local economy.
“Lake Terrace has proven to be a strong
attraction in Hattiesburg,” said Rick Taylor,
Executive Director of the Hattiesburg
Convention Commission. “After 15 years, we
are still seeing new clients each year, and we
continue to hold on to and build relationships
with those who have been coming to the Center
for years. Lake Terrace has consistently topped
other convention centers in the state in number
of events held, and significantly out-performed
like centers in similar markets in other areas of
the Southeastern region.”
The Lake Terrace Convention Center has been
named “Best of the Best” seven times in the
Readers’ Choice Awards presented by
ConventionSouth magazine. Lake Terrace
Convention Center is among 100 convention
and visitor bureaus, meeting facilities and hotels
located across the South to receive this year’s
Readers’ Choice Award.
@
“Being named ‘Best of the Best’ is a high honor
because it is voted on by meeting planners who
have dealt with us directly, many on a repeat
basis,” Taylor continued. “It is a testament to
the quality for which our staff strives.”

The Hattiesburg Zoo
celebrated its 63rd birthday
with the return of the annual
Birthday Bash on Saturday,
April 13. The unveiling of a
new flamingo exhibit set the
stage for a day of family fun
that was “Pretty in Pink” and
full of adventure for the young
and young at heart!
Sponsored by Forrest
General’s Cancer Center, a
new Chilean flamingo exhibit
located in the South American
region of the Zoo was the
highlighted unveiling for
guests to enjoy. Acquired
from Zoo Atlanta’s flock, the
flamingo exhibit showcases
more than twenty of these
captivating tropical birds, also
classified as a near-threatened
species.
Also unveiled that day was a
pair of African Zebu calves – a
friendly addition to the African
region of the Zoo. A newly
crafted drum station was also
on display for the first time
during the Birthday Bash.
Located right inside the
African region, the interactive
drum station has become a
favorite for creative play.
“The Zoo’s Birthday Bash is
always an exciting event to
celebrate the animals at the
Zoo and unveil a continuation
of progress in the Zoo’s
development, and this year
was no different,” said Rick
Taylor, Executive Director of
the Hattiesburg Convention
Commission. “Throughout the
past year, the Zoo has
undergone significant
improvements to existing
exhibits, as well as the addition
of several animals and
attractions within the Zoo.
Progress like this is certainly

Rise Up & Rebuild the AAMHM
Museum to recover
from Feb. tornado
Following the devastation of
the tornado that tore
through Hattiesburg and
the surrounding areas on
February 10, the African
American Military History
Museum Committee has
organized a campaign to
raise funds for the rebuilding
of the Historic USO Club and
the African American Military
History Museum.
The African American Military
History Museum Committee
welcomes financial support
from the community to help
the rebuilding process begin.
Through the Rise Up &
Rebuild campaign, friends of
the Museum may provide
tax-deductible financial
donations by texting the
word “RebuildUSO” to 72727
or by visiting the website:
HattiesburgUSO.com/Rebuild.
“This Museum represents
many deeply-rooted
sentiments across our
community. There are so
many who have cherished
stories, fond memories and
special connections to this
building. The Committee
hopes that through the Rise
Up & Rebuild campaign, we
can help ensure the tradition
and heritage enjoyed by the
Museum’s supporters is
passed down for many more
generations yet to come,”
said Sheila Varnado,
President of the African
American Military History
Museum Committee.
“During the storm, large
sections of the roof were
blown away, including
sections that covered the
Archives Room, as well as,
the Theater that is located in
the back of the Museum,”
said Rick Taylor, Executive
Director of the Hattiesburg
Convention Commission.
“As the only surviving USO
built exclusively for African
American soldiers that
remains in the United States,
the Museum is a cultural and
historical landmark, as well
as, a place of pride for many
in the Pine Belt, and we are
dedicated to the restoration
of this historic site.”

immediately following the

they once again will be

when the Museum reopens.

In 1991, the City of Hattiesburg and the

began working toward the creation of
a Hattiesburg Convention Center that
would boost the economy on the local

Hattiesburg. With a primary focus on
the development of a convention
center that would be the finest in the
State of Mississippi, the Commission
began the task of building something
First-Class Facility Management
not before found in our community.
Much evaluation, community input and
study was conducted to ensure the
investment would produce dynamic
results many years into the future.
In July 1998, as testimony to the hard

two and a half million visitors what
Hattiesburg has to offer and has
