Faces & Places Joplin Home Show

An old Joplin annual tradition, the Joplin Home Show, made a roaring comeback Feb. 7 at the new Joplin Expo event center, located at Northpark Mall. Approximately 8,000 patrons visited 120-plus booths featuring local contractors, retailers and home improvement specialists, plus new Home Show categories like outdoor recreation and smart home technology. This inaugural 2-day event will be back in 2027 at the Expo, its new and permanent home.
