Vendor space sells out for Home and Garden Show
Annual show at Florence Events Center set for March 6 through 8
The 19th Annual Florence
Home and Garden Show
set for March 6 through 8
has filled all its available ven-
dor space, according to organ-
izers.
“We were full by the end of
January,” explained Show
Director Jon Thompson. “We
always get some turnover and
that’s good for everyone as it
keeps the show fresh and
interesting. 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.
