FORUM BUILDING
The Forum Building consists of three halls, a kitchen,
office, restrooms, shower facilities, and a storage room
that may be used for additional meeting or exhibit space.
The Forum is divided into three main exhibit halls and is
heated for year-round use. The Forum features high load
bearing concrete floors, overhead lighting, 3-phase 220-
volt, 50-amp electrical service, and 115-volt 20-amp
service.
All three halls interconnect to provide 22,500 square feet
of floor space with the flexibility to hold one large or three
separate events. There is parking for over 800 cars
adjacent to this building.
NORTH HALL
This versatile room provides 6,600 square feet of usable
free-span floor space, with a 10 x 12 foot overhead door
adjoining the South Hall. The attached 625 square foot
kitchen features a walk-in cooler, two ovens, commercial
sinks, and an abundance of cabinet and counter space.
Side doors open to a spacious patio area.
SOUTH AND EAST HALLS
These identical halls built in early 1980 each have 7,200
square feet of usable free-span floor space. 10 x 12 foot
overhead doors provide for easy move-in/move-out
service. They are connected by an interior overhead
door, which facilitates traffic-flow through the events.
SOUTHEAST ROOM
The 1,500 square foot Southeast Room is accessible from
both the South and East halls. Generally used for
equipment storage, this space is available for additional
seminar or exhibit space.
HORSE COMPLEX
The Expo Horse Complex is one of the finest in the
Midwest, featuring three barns with stables for over 200
horses, a large dressage area, and three top-rated show
rings. The 2-story announcers’ stand is air-conditioned
and has a registration area, private office on the first
floor, and a judges viewing room on the second floor.
Restrooms and showers are included in this building. A
camper/trailer parking area adjacent to the horse
complex has water and electrical hook-ups and a sanitary
dump station.
