As a means to promote its Pompano Beach Highlands housing development, the Mackle Company staged a home show with the impressive title "The Pompano Beach Highlands Exposition of Homes and Industrial Display."

The show opened on ten acres acres of land in the Highlands development off Dixie Highway on October 19, 1958, and included model homes, playgrounds with rides for children, a exhibit of "lifesized rockets" and displays of home building products.
