Sure it’s chilly today, but we’re all thinking ahead to the spring and summer, and what a great way to get ready for the warmer weather by visiting The Maine Home, Remodeling, and Garden Show at the Cumberland County Civic Center today and tomorrow. The show will be open Saturday, February 6, from 10am – 6pm, and again Sunday, February 7, from 10am – 5pm, just in time to get back to watch the Super Bowl.
Like past home shows at the Civic Center, there will be over 170 exhibitors of home-related products & services for you to preview. You’ll witness some home remodeling ideas and be able to talk to the experts in the field about questions or concerns you have with your own projects, or be able to “interview” them for the job of taking on your next remodel. There will also be informative seminars related to home and garden pieces, as well as cooking demonstrations from the “Meet the Chefs” cooking series.
