HIA trade show 2004

The HIA show goes to Dallas this year, with exhibits open to the trade February 5th-8th. I remember the first time I visited Dallas (which happened to be for an HIA show), and I sure could have used a guide to figure out where to go, so I hope this helps!

	Beth Wild will be throwing the party of the year at her home in nearby Fort Worth. Rumor has it that she's even booked the Rolling Stones to play at the event! You won't want to miss this one!
	Deep Ellum Eclectic & Avant Garde describe this Southern Soho's activities 24/7
	From its location in the old Texas School Book Depository overlooking Dealey Plaza, visitors to the Sixth Floor Museum encounter a chilling recreation of the window area where Lee Harvey Oswald supposedly fired his fatal shots as well as exhibits chronicling the assassination and legacy of President John F. Kennedy.
	The West End Family fun and exciting nightlife with something for everyone anytime of day
