Mary Lee is the daughter of Charles Lamar Jr., founder of outdoor advertiser Lamar Corporation and Bill is a professional cutting horse trainer and competitor. Landry Road, about a mile from Tanger Outlet Mall, the Expo Center offers parish residents an exposition center capable of seating several thousand people. For several years Mary Lee and Bill dreamed of creating a place for equestrian events that would also serve as a multi-purpose events venue in their home parish. The result? The Dixons constructed the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center, a state of the art multi-use events facility that will support charitable organizations and community development. That’s what Bill and I are trying to do.” “I had great teachers in ‘giving back what you get’ in my parents and Kevin (Reilly Sr.) and his wife Dee Dee. “We’ve been blessed by the business doing well and feel we should give something back to the community,” Mary Lee explained. After their family business went public, the Dixons were actively seeking a way to tie their professional expertise into a charitable project. Mary Lee and Bill Dixon took their passion for cutting horses and turned it into a multimillion dollar charitable gift to the Ascension Parish community. Our aim is to attract diverse entertainment to the community in a safe, user-friendly environment.

The purpose of the Expo Center is to provide the community with a multi-use events facility - with an emphasis on equestrian and 4-H activities - which can be used as a resource for economic development. Lamar-Dixon Expo Center – Gonzales, LouisianaĬheck Out Our Event Calendar For Events Here
