2012 Home & Landscape Show was a
hit with vendors and visitors
McLEOD, CARVER, WRIGHT, SIBLEY COUNTIES, MN – Eager for home improvement ideas, more than 400 people cruised through the Crow River Builders Association (CRBA) Home & Landscape Show Feb. 4 and 5 at the McLeod County Fairgrounds Agribition Building in Hutchinson.
“This was the first time I’ve been at this show, and I was well pleased with it,” said Joel Grunke of Welcome Home Workshop in Fairfax.
Grunke, who specializes in cabinetry, was one of 31 vendors to showcase construction-related products and services. Fourteen of those companies participated in a central “outdoor living” display comprised of decks, pavers, patio furniture, grills, and firepits.
“That was a huge hit,” CRBA member Ryan Voss noted.
Young “future builders” also had the opportunity to construct a birdhouse, and door prizes were given by many booth vendors.
At the close of the show, Glencoe resident Everette Bratsch won a raffle drawing for a Husqvarna snowblower. Proceeds from the raffle will support scholarships for students considering a career related to the building industry. Two students – one from Glencoe-Silver Lake High School and one from Hutchinson High School – will be chosen.
According to Grunke, the CRBA Home & Landscape Show is a fun, relaxed way for homeowners to connect with local builders, remodelers, landscapers, and suppliers.
“I will come back next year,” he said.
