here will be a few new twists
when the 21st annual
Florence Home and Garden
Show opens at the Florence Events
Center on March 3. Those twists
include tiny homes, tractors and fairy
gardens.
“This could be the best show we’ve
ever had,” said promoter Jon
Thompson.
That’s because outside a display by
Tiny SMART Homes of Albany will
show off the finer points of living
small. Alongside the tiny homes will
be the nearly 100 percent recycled
greenhouse from window purveyor
Mark and Company, and a wide
selection of lawn and garden tractors
from Mid Valley Tractor.
Tiny homes can range in size from
just under 100 square feet to a pala-
tial 350 square feet, and the models
produced by SMART also include
sustainable and eco-friendly features
without having to give up comfort.

“Moon Over Buffalo” on
March 17 to 19 and 24 to 26 at
the Florence Events Center.
In the madcap comedy tradi-
tion of “Lend me a Tenor,” the hilari-
ous “Moon Over Buffalo,” by Ken
Ludwig, centers on George and
Charlotte Hay, played by John
Bachman and Judy Adams, fading stars
of the 1950s. At the moment, the Hays
are playing two shows in rep in Buffalo,
New York, with five actors.
On the brink of a disastrous split-up
caused by George’s dalliance with a
young ingenue, they receive word that
they might just have one last shot at
stardom: Frank Capra is coming to

town to see their matinee, and if he
likes what he sees, he might cast them
in his movie remake of “The Scarlet
Pimpernel.”
Unfortunately for George and
Charlotte, everything that could go
wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit
from their daughter’s clueless fiancé
and hilarious uncertainty about which
play they are actually performing,
caused by Charlotte’s deaf old stage-
manager mother who hates every bone
in George’s body.
