For the 3^rd time ever, the Tupelo Furniture Market will open one of its buildings to the public.

During August 15-18, one building will be open to the public, filled with furniture retailers.

“Many business-to-business trade events have exhibiting companies that invite the public,” said Kevin Seddon, president of the Tupelo Furniture Market.

According to Seddon, Building I will once again be open to the furniture trade, regional business owners and the public, but they have added a few interesting twists.

“All of Building I will be filled, showrooms as well as the open grand hall.  In addition, we will be raffling away prizes including a fur coat, a 10-carat blue topaz and diamond ring, a $500 shopping spree and much more,” Seddon said. “On Friday evening, we will hold our “Spirits and Sparkles” event from 5 to 7 p.m.  We’ll have wine and spirits, hors d’oeuvres and incredible door prizes! We’ll also have a band on hand to entertain.”

The Furniture and Home Accessories Show will house a wide-range of home furniture, appliances, specialty items and accessories at below retail and discounted prices.

“More than a quarter of the more than 150,000 square foot building has been sold to companies selling furniture,”  said Candi Hall, the company’s buyer recruitment director. “And there are so many new companies selling accessories and other home related products that it is almost overwhelming.”
