Northern California Home & Landscape Expo

Referred to affectionately as "The Big One," the Northern California Home and Landscape Expo marks the end of the holidays and the official beginning of homeowners' renewed focus on home improvement projects in the coming spring and summer. The home show runs this whole weekend, January 24-26 at Cal Expo.

This is the 20th year for the show, and it is promised to be bigger and better than ever. More than 1000 exhibitor booths will fill all of the buildings at Cal Expo. You will find general contractors, landscapers, roofers, painters, pool contractors, window and door installers and much, much more. There is also a comprehensive workshop series, with speakers covering a wide range of home improvement topics. And, of course, there will be plenty of concessions spread throughout to satisfy your sweet tooth or hot dog cravings.

Admission is $7 for adults, and free for children 12 and under. On Friday only, seniors 60 and over can get in for $2. Parking at Cal Expo is $10. (Or, if you don't mind walking a bit more, you can park on adjacent streets or empty parking lots at Ethan and Arden Way for free). For more information, call (916) 443-4961 or visit www.homeandlandscapeexpo.com.
