McClain-Kent Hall

The Exhibition Hall has 30,000 square-feet of clear-span space that can be partitioned off for smaller events. Movable walls divide the Hall in half and also divide one-half into a third. The ceiling is 32 feet to the lowest beam.

The drive-in door offers easy accessibility handling a 16’ x 18’ semi-trailer. Electrical outlets and telephone jacks are in the floor boxes, placed every 40 feet through the Hall. There are also electric wall outlets. A kitchen is available in one area of the Hall. The catwalk above the Hall offers easy access for photographs or hanging decorations.

The full Exhibition Hall can seat 3500 people in theater-style seats for concerts, celebrations, and seminars. 1500 people can be seated at banquet-style tables (rounds). 165 exhibit booths (10’ x 10’) will fit into this Hall. 2500 people will fit in this space comfortably using classroom-style chairs and straight tables.

We are proud of our legislators who helped get state funding for the Center – Representative Elmo McClain and Senator Mary Lou Kent.
