September 19, 20 & 21, 2014 - 20th Sonoma County Fall Home Show
Welcome to the 20th Annual Fall Home Show, one of the premier events featured at the beautiful Sonoma County Fairgrounds. This show is the total one stop shopping experience for all of your home improvement and fix up needs. Whether you are looking for a complete home remodel, a kitchen or bath makeover, or that new roof before the winter rains hit, you will find the solution for all your needs at the Fall Home Show. You will meet the professionals you can trust, many have been part of our Home Shows for over 20 years … that's reliability. In today's fast pace complex world, we have all come to rely on many sources of information. We are bombarded by the web, radio, TV, print, direct mail, and tons of social media. How do we find just the right home product, service, designer, or contractor? At our show you are in charge. You choose which exhibitors to "interview" and compare their business offerings face to face on your terms.. We take away the "fear" of the hardsell stranger invading your home after that 1-800 appointment you made, or that list recommendation web site you clicked on. You will be able to evaluate your potential source on your terms. If the "fit" is not there, you move on to find just the right professional somewhere else at the show. Thousands of attendees have even made the Home Shows an annual experience. They get to know many of our hundreds of exhibitors and even become casual friends with some. Then when ready to proceed on a project, they have greater confidence, which can ultimately save time and money. Overall, the Home Show is a great family experience with fun shopping, good food, easy access and parking, plus everyone loves The Train Show (included with your Home Show admission).
