Home and Holiday show offers drawing for $6,000 kitchen

Home remodeling may not be high on the list of priorities with Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday season only 18 days away, but sponsors of the free 2013 Home and Holiday Show this weekend at the Eastwood Expo Center hope to change all that.

“We’re not looking at a timeline,” said Jennie Brewer, executive officer of the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of the Valley. “This is a long-term business.”

This is the first time HBA has held this event, which replaces the Home and Harvest show previously held in the fall. “That was not a great time to hold it because we were up against high school football,” Brewer said, “but I’ve been pleased with the attendance this weekend.”

The show has attracted more than 50 vendors including retail giant Lowe’s, which is holding a drawing for a free Kraft Maid kitchen valued at more than $6,000. The winning entry will be drawn when the show closes today at 5 p.m.
