Southern Women’s Show day one highlights gymnast Laurie Hernandez



Laurie Hernandez, USA Silver and Gold medal winner in Rio, appeared at the 2017 Southern Women’s Show, Thursday at 4:30 p.m. on the Fashion Stage.  Laurie was interviewed by First Coast News anchorwoman, Keitha Nelson, whom you will recognize from the TV show; “Good Morning Jacksonville”.  The cute and fit seventeen-year-old gymnast answered questions from Keitha, and also numerous questions from very young enthusiastic gymnasts.  Miss Hernandez stayed around and signed copies of her book (“I Got This: To Gold and Beyond”) and took pictures with her fans.  She is very well spoken young woman and was an encourager to those in attendance.  Laurie was brought to the 2017 SWS by the Florida Dairy Farmers.

If you’ve previously attended the Southern Women’s Show, or this is your first time, you will be excited to know that more special days have been designated again this year.  “Girls Night Out” will be Friday October 20th. and admission is only $5 after 5 p.m.  “Mother/Daughter Day” will be held all day on Saturday Oct. 21st.  “Teachers Day” will be on Sun. Oct. 22nd.  Teachers who visit the Show Office (Room 104) on Sunday will receive a FREE ticket to the show!  *Must show your school ID to collect your complimentary ticket.


If you didn’t make it on Thursday – you have a few more days to catch all the action with the 2017 show.  There are lots of vendors, demonstrations, freebies, shows, eating and much more.  Grab your friends, family and coworker’s together as you make a day-of-it at the 2017 Southern Women’s Show in Jacksonville, Florida.
