2011 Show Dates (Saturday & Sunday) March 5 & 6 July 23 & 24		Lamar Dixon Exposition Center 9039 S Saint Landry Ave Gonzales, LA 70737

Lamar Dixon

As the population base in Eastern Louisiana has shifted North over the past few years, demand has grown for a Reptile Expo North of the New Orleans metro area. In July of 2010 Repticon met that demand with the debut of Repticon Baton Rouge! Hosted at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center just South of Baton Rouge and one hour North of New Orleans, Repticon Baton Rouge featured an exciting mix of local vendors and top vendors from throughout the South. After a great debut with a busy holiday weekend show, be sure to look for future updates as to when will be the return of Repticon Baton Rouge!
