All the latest and greatest in contemporary home and garden products and services will be on display courtesy of hundreds of vendors. The show will make good use of the Coliseum’s recent addition, expanding dozens of exhibits into that area. And, as always, featured presenters will appear throughout the four days to educate and entertain showgoers:

• Cari Cucksey, star of HGTV’s "Cash & Cari," who famously gives dusty old relics a new lease on life;

• Melinda Myers, Midwest gardening expert, author of over 20 books, TV and radio host, who will share her 30+ years of horticulture experience in creating beautiful outdoor environments, and

• Fort Wayne favorites, self-proclaimed "grillologists" Mad Dog & Merrill, who return with their oh-so-special brand of humor and solid skill on the grill.

Long-time show producer Karen Tejera as well as Cari, Melinda, and Mad Dog & Merrill all are available for interviews, either pre-show via phoner or during the run of the event. If you’d like to talk with one or more, please contact me and we’ll be delighted to make arrangements!
