Vendors that par- ticipate in many other shows in the Northwest are a great source of referrals. “We’ve been told numerous times that our show is one of the best, even in comparison to much larger venues.” Thompson said local businesses are the highest pri- ority, but bringing in out-of- area vendors with products and services that cannot be found in the Florence area is also critical to its suc- cess. Custom wood products, kitchen ware, hot tubs, spas, skylights and dozens of ven- dors featuring products and services for both the home and garden will pack the Florence Events Center, 715 Quince St. Laurel Bay Gardens’ center- piece landscape design, “Garden of Artful Delight,” will highlight this year’s show. The landscape design will feature local crafted garden art, including sculptures, plants and glass art. The urban design will high- light planting ideas to create a haven for wildlife. Low maintenance and native plant selections will give homeowners great ideas on enhancing their yards to add color, texture and wildlife habitat. Laurel Bay Gardens also will feature a new line of cer- tified organic compost and soils, colorful outdoor pottery, statuary and water features. Gibs RV, featuring homes on wheels, will join Cedar Works Spas outside the Florence Events Center. Show hours are from 2 to 6 p.m. on Friday, March 6, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 7, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 8. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under. Admission is free from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and half-price coupons will be available at Bi-Mart two weeks prior to the show. The show is sponsored by Three Rivers Casino and Resort, Bi-Mart and Central Lincoln PUD. It is presented by Coast Radio and the Siuslaw News.
