FACILITIES
Main Arena
The 120,000 square foot Main Arena is truly multi-purpose. The facility staff specializes in transforming the venue into your personal showplace. Some of the various events the Main Arena has hosted include conerts, rodeos, monster truck shows, motorcross races, boat & RV shows, barrel races, circuses, cheerleading competitions and much more.
Extension Conference Center
The Extension Conference Center is the most popular building at the Multi Purpose Center complex. The 3,360 square foot (55'X65') room has hosted a diverse slate of events since it opened to the public in 2002. Many weddings, receptions, proms and corporate functions find the facility ideal for their event.
The Extension Conference Center is equipped with tables and chairs to seat up to 300 people. The stage, podium, sound system and audio/visual screen are perfect for seminars and conferences while the full service kitchen helps to make the building suitable for banquets and receptions. The room can also be split in half by a partition for smaller events that need a more intimate setting. Two sets of restrooms are also conveniently located inside the Conference Center.
RV Park
The Forrest County RV Park is a great asset to our 160-acre complex. The RV Park is located adjacent to the Forrest County Multi Purpose Center off of US Highway 49 and is only a couple of miles away from Interstate 59 and US Highway 98.

All of the sites have water, sewage and electricity connections. Additionally, concrete slabs and patios are found at all of the sites. The RV Park is located beside the 16-acre Forrest County Lake. It is also adjacent to and only yards away from the Multi Purpose Center's Main Arena.
