McCARTY HOLSAPLE McCARTY ARCHITECTS, INC (MHM) brings extensive expertise to the planning and design of fairgrounds, event centers, and large-scale public venues. With more than 60 years of experience designing spaces that foster connection, engagement, and economic activity, MHM understands the operational, logistical, and phasing complexities required to deliver successful fairgrounds that serve diverse events and audiences year-round.

A Business Affiliate of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE), MHM’s portfolio includes fairgrounds, expo halls, livestock arenas, multipurpose event buildings, and outdoor event spaces designed to balance functionality, flexibility, and long-term value. We regularly partner with counties, municipalities, and public agencies to deliver facilities that support agricultural traditions, community recreation, entertainment, and regional economic development. Our collaborative approach ensures each project aligns with client goals while remaining adaptable to future growth and changing program needs.

From early master planning through construction, MHM emphasizes clear communication, stakeholder coordination, and disciplined decision-making. This approach is especially critical for phased projects, where early decisions on infrastructure, utilities, and site planning must support both initial development and long-term build-out. Our team focuses on right-sizing facilities, clarifying scope, and establishing a clear framework that allows projects to advance efficiently as funding becomes available.
