HOME SHOW SUCCESS!
“A HUGE Thank You to ALL of the exhibitors, volunteers and attendees for making our HOME SHOW a success!
We had a wide variety of materials & services on hand for our attendees to view and consider for their next home
project. Even though we had the COLDEST move-in in SHOW history, we appreciate everyone's hard work during
the SHOW and patience with our snowy-Saturday. We firmly believe that the consumers that braved the snowy
streets on Saturday were dedicated and serious customers. We hope they were able to get some one-on-one time
with you. The Home Builder’s Association has received a lot of positive feedback from attendees, volunteers and exhibitors.”

“We had a great show! Jeremy
loved being interviewed by 103.7
the Buzz. As long as it’s a different weekend than the Flower and
Garden Show, we will be back
next year!
-Donna Bemis
Bemis Tree Farm
“Due to our snowy Saturday, Verizon didn’t
have enough staff to open the concession
stands. Well, everyone knows when you host
a big event, you have to improvise at
times—so I went to pick up 30 Hot &
Ready Pizzas and Fruit & Veggie trays!
Our Exhibitors Can’t go Hungry!”
-Nathan Cooper

“Just wanted to let everyone know I was
pleased with the HOME SHOW and was
surprised by the turn out! I really liked my
booth spot and as usual felt everyone did a
terrific job. I plan on seeing everyone again
next year if you will have me!”

“The HOME SHOW this year, despite
weather, was another success. We had good
quality traffic. Most everyone that came by
the booth had a project in the words, new
build or remodel. We booked several appoints and have closed jobs already. Movein/move-out went perfect. Hats off to everyone involved!! Looking forward to next year.”
-Judy Barber

“My Plan Store had a great time at the
62nd Annual Home Show! We met lots of
great folks and had a wonderful time talking about how we can help them build their
dream. A huge THANK YOU to the HBA
for hosting the event… we look forward to
next time!”
