(New Orleans, LA) – For the first time in its 66-year history, Helen Brett Enterprises will offer the general public its first ever chance to attend the New Orleans Gift and Jewelry Show at the New Orleans Convention Center.
 
For the past 66 years, the show has been open to documented business owners. This month’s show at the New Orleans Convention Center Hall J will remain open exclusively to documented business owners on Friday, January 26 and Saturday, January 27. The show will then open to the public for two days: Sunday, January 28 and Monday, January 29.
 
The quarterly trade shows attract more than 40,000 buyers and vendors from across Gulf Coast each year.

Tickets to the show can be purchased at the Market Access registration desk in Hall J of the Convention Center.
 
“Opening our doors to the public for the first time since 1952 is an amazing opportunity for people from all over the Gulf South to get their hands on merchandise at great prices,” said Helen Brett Enterprises President Robert Kolinek. “Our Gift and Jewelry Show offers the opportunity for consumers to interact with products before buying them at great prices.”
