The 'Ganza is Back THIS Weekend!

 Ticket Info & Times at bottom of post.


The Mississippi Wildlife Federation is hosting the 36th Annual Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza, Mississippi’s oldest and most recognized Outdoor Show July 28th – 30th, 2023 at the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl. Presented by Small Town Hunting Properties & Real Estate, this year’s event will host even more exhibitors, attendees, children’s activities, and entertainment.

Extravaganza Director, Robin Carlin, says, “We cannot wait to share with Mississippians the biggest and best Wildlife Extravaganza yet. We loved working with the fine folks at the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl last year as we moved to a new location, and were floored to have the entire city of Pearl’s support, including that of mayor Jake Windham and his staff, in promoting the Ganza. We’re confident that we have the best vendors, entertainers, demonstrations and exhibits in the hunting and fishing industry to help Mississippians kick off this year’s hunting season in a wonderful family-friendly and safe environment. Please don’t be confused with the Mississippi Ag and Outdoor Expo, taking place in downtown Jackson at the Trade Mart, the same weekend. There’s only one Ganza!”

The Extravaganza will play host to many historic crowd-favorite exhibitions, demonstrations, and contests such as the ever-popular Magnolia Records and Big Buck contest, Jason Reynolds’ famous High-flying Retrievers, Kid’s Handgrabbin’ Catfish tanks, youth BB Gun and Archery Ranges, kayaking fishing demonstrations, hunting dog demonstrations, outdoor hunting and fishing seminars, and much more. MWF is bringing back some of the biggest names in the hunting, fishing and outdoors entertainment world, like stars from the History Channel’s “Swamp People”, Redneck Adventures TV, Real South Hunting, Small Town Hunting TV, and many more. Several new exhibitors and entertainers will also be in attendance this year. You’ll want to follow MWF on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/mississippiwildfederation/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/mswildlife) as we will be announcing all of our celebrity guests between now and showtime.  

The show will include a dining hall with grab-and-go, as well as sit-down dining options, with a host of area restaurants, so that guests can enjoy some of the best local vittles in town, and a bar/lounge area for adults to enjoy a cold beer or alcoholic beverage. 

MWF’s Magnolia Records program is the state’s ONLY official deer records program, and a buck taken from any year may be entered for scoring. However, the buck must have been taken last season to be entered into the Big Buck contest to win cash, gift cards, and other prizes. All entrants into Magnolia Records and the Big Buck contest will receive free entry to the Extravaganza. Details about scoring categories, requirements and entry times can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/mswildlife.

MWF is once again working with established MS show promoters Dan Robinson and Rob Neblett of Mississippi Outdoor Expo, LLC. MWF and MS Outdoor Expo, LLC will be working around the clock to ensure this year’s Extravaganza is a massive success for the attendees and its exhibitors and sponsors.

@12:58– MWF had the show for over 34 years at the Trademart and Andy Gibson, The Wildlife and Fishers Foundation, Sam Polles and the rich fat cat commissioners stole the historic date and reservation.It has now been highly successful in Rankin County in a very safe environment.Those same folks made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy the Watch Dog (MWF)that often was the average citizen’s only protection from these self serving individuals .

They did move it out of Jackson!!
Are u taking some strong meds??

Speaking of Polles, I'm afraid he (with an almost lifetime appointment) has virtually destroyed what is now MDWFP.

Multiple governors wasted many opportunities to replace him and what could have been a rescue mission is now a recovery mission.

Don't worry...The event will continue to 'draw well'.

Where else can six thousand rednecks wearing camo caps adorned with backwards shades prance around with wads of Skoal in their lip?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
