Midlands Auto Show
rolls into Omaha tonight
By Gerry Beltz
Senior Reporter
If you’re a student who is eager to
look at vehicles that you have no
chance of owning (unless you hit
Powcrball), then climb into your pea
green ’73 Pontiac LeMans and head
up to Omaha this weekend.
The latest in cars, trucks and auto
mobile technology will be on display
for the Third Annual Auto Show of the
Midlands at the Omaha Civic Audito
rium. The show runs tonight through
Sunday.
Marty Beecham, president of Mid
lands Productions, coordinated the
event. He said getting an auto show
together is more work than just park
ing a bunch of cars in a big building.
“It’s basically a year-round
project,” he said. “You have to coor
dinate with manufacturers, the deal
ers of those manufacturers and other
auto shows around the country.
“Also, you have to make sure
you’re getting the displays of cars in
on time and things like that.”
For this year’s presentation, he said,
auditorium preparations started from
the ground up — literally.
“We lay all new carpet,” he said,
“140,000 square feet of brand-new
carpet. Then we lay plastic over the
carpet to protect it.”
Once the carpet and plastic are
down, Beecham said, the freight
moves into the auditorium.
“It requires coordination between
the manufacturers, myself and the
people who put up all the equipment
and signs,” he said.
The whole project is time-consum
ing even when it runs smoothly. But,
Beecham said, preparations for this
year’s Auto Show have not been with
out snags.
“We’re putting up an Acura sign a
day late, and Hyundai had a different
day scheduled than we had them down
for.”
But minor problems such as these
have only slowed, not stopped the
Auto Show from rolling, Beecham
said.
“It all works out. You have to make
sure everyone is on the same page.”
Although the attendance for the
past two auto shows averaged about
50,000 people each, Beecham said,
this year’s crowds may increase to
between 55,000 and 60,000, weather
permitting.
“Last year, we lost an entire day
because of a snowstorm,” he said, “but
we still cleared around 49,000.”
This year’s Auto Show features 30
manufacturers, Beecham said, which
are supported by 145 dealers. But the
actual number of vehicles on display
this year is yet to be determined.
“We haven’t even counted the cars
yet,” he said, “but we’re guessing right
around 200.”
And a little more carpet area
wouldn’t hurt, either. Beecham said
there was always demand for more
space.
“That’s as many as we can squeeze
into this building,” he said. “We could
really use another 75,000 square feet.”

a presence in sports. I gave him a call
for this project. He seemed like a natu
ral.”
The whole project came together
fairly quickly, Richardson said. In
early 1995, just after the Orange Bowl,
Richardson suggested that the Omaha
Symphony scrap the second half of a
Pops concert and play Nebraska mu
sic.
“It went over very well,”
Richardson said.
In November, another such perfor
mance was suggested and the final
decision to do so was made in Decern
ber, regardless of the outcome of the
Fiesta Bowl.
“We were very excited that the
team won; it just made the whole thing
better,” Richardson said.
Tickets for Friday’s performance of
“Go Big Red” are $15 and $10 and
are available through the Orpheum
Theater’s box office.

lins.”
“I was really surprised to find some
of those issues on sale at a horror con
vention later” Johnson said. “It was
selling for about $75.”
As might be expected, Johnson said
horror movies were a big influence on
his work. Most of his creations sug
gest the same grim, pagan power
present in Hollywood’s monsters, or
in stone gargoyles. Like Aztec idols,
they maniacally grin and grit their
teeth, staring out into space.
In the ancient world, if someone
had built the same types of models
Johnson creates today, the generations
that followed probably would have
either worshipped the creations or
thrown them into volcanoes.
But Johnson is humble about his
craft.
“I like to describe myself as an art
ist, junk collector and a part-time pipe
installer,” Johnson said. “I add on that
last part just so people don’t think I’m
totally bogus*
