"This expo is a home design shopping center for the weekend," said Peggy Ruh, producer of The Home Shows Inc. "This is the best exposition held in this area, with local contractors in a neutral environment ready to discuss your needs.
"Many tradesmen offer spring discounts - to get an early start - they're ready to schedule new work. Other exhibitors have Show Specials and deals on products sold at the show," says Ruh. "It is a great event for planning home projects and remodeling. With spring coming up, you can still get your project on their books."
