Lane Co. Home and Garden Show
by Garde Wells
On Thursday, March 12 at 6 pm,
the Lane County Home and Garden
Show will come on strong. “For the
first time in the last eight years, there
will be just one Spring Home and
Garden Show,” explains Helen Berg,
who produces the show (hat the Home
Builders Association of Lane Coun
ty sponsors.
Just who are the Home Builders
Association of Lane County? “The
Home Builders Association is a voice
for the building industry . . . because
they’re all mostly independent con
tractors,” says Berg.
The Home and Garden Show his
torically draws 30-40,000 peo
ple over the weekend, according to
promoter Berg—that’s more than dou
ble what the average turnout was
before 1983, which was when the
Home Show’s admission fee went out
the window. The free show will go for
two evenings and two days at the Con
vention Center on West 13th Avenue.
What can one expect at this event?
Over 200 exhibitions—including de
corating, draperies, floor coverings,
weatherization, heating and air con
ditioning, indoor landscaping, prom
and bridal fashions—you name it.
“We have all kinds of things in
there,” says Berg, “I have financial
people in there, some of the stock
brokers and insurance people ... this
is a good time for them with IRA
planning.”
One exhibit sure to be popular is
Oregon Yurt Works. According to
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, a
yurt is “a circular domed tent of skins
or felt stretched over a collapsible lat
tice framework and used by the Kir
ghiz and other Mongol nomads of
Siberia.” Along with an actual yurt
in the Fairgrounds Convention Center,
Oregon Yurt Works plans to have ac
tual landscaping—complete with
grass, shrubbery and waterfalls, all by
Teller Landscaping.
Merchants who represent them
selves at the Home & Garden Show
normally give out coupons, or have
special rates for their products and
services.
“We get a lot of the do-it-yourself
type people coming to the show and
so a lot of what the exhibitors do gear
toward that,” Berg says.
Galyn Forster of Inside & Out
Painting will be at his booth in his
coveralls and with his buckets of
paint. Baby World Diaper Service
will have a changing and nursing
room for parents.
“The builders are very popular at
the show,” says Helen Berg. Honn
Design & Construction, Ellison &
Platz Construction, Jerry Carlin Con
struction, AAA Plus Construction,
Pacific Cascade Real Log Homes, Sy
nergistic Construction, and David Zar
zycki General Contractor are some of
the builders that will have exhibits.
Mrs. Oregon, who is Kathy Mar
tin, and Karen Houle, who is Miss
Lane County, will both be on hand
Saturday and Sunday for all you auto
graph hounds.
Lane Community College will pre
view many of their Adult Education
Courses at one display; Pacific Coast
Publishing will again offer copies of
their telephone book at their booth.
Some of the workshops that show
goers can see onstage at the show are:
“Salsa from Canned Tomatoes” and
“Dried Foods for Back Packing and
Camping,” both by the OSU/Lane
County Extension Service; and

Promoter Helen Berg evaded ques
tions as to which booth has attracted
the most people in past years, but she
did let slip that “Greer Gardens does
one demonstration/workshop that’s
very popular . . . it’s on raising
rhodies and azaleas.”
