The Home & Garden Lifestyle Show recently took place over the weekend of February 25th through the 27th 2011.

Area 'Green Thumbs' had spring on their minds as they attended the The 2011 Home & Garden Lifestyle Show held in Bay City at the Bay County Civic Arena located at 4231 Shrestha.

Attendees were preparing for spring projects and sprucing up by visiting with vendors, who offered building and remodeling, financing, heating (including geothermal), cooling, plumbing, landscaping, cabinets, flooring, appliances, furniture, energy saving ideas, and much more.

Burt Watson Chevrolet's booth featured the new Chevy Volt car. Also a Kids Korner, featuring games for the young ones. Also a 'Home Advice Stage", featuring seminars on home improvement from Sue Smith of WSGW's Listen to the Mrs.

Grand prize drawings, including a Flexsteel Recliner donated by Idzior Furniture, and a Marvin Clad Ultimate Sliding French Door by Laurence Smith Window & Door.

Bill Ruff from Laurence Smith Window & Door and President of the Bay County Home Builders Association said, "The 2011 Home Show was a great success. The sentiment among the vendors and patrons alike has been very positive."

Ruff continued "The attendance was up and flow of people moving through the show was consistent all weekend leaving many of the vendors leaving with a bit of excitement and already talking about what they are going to do next year."

Ruff added, "I must also mention that the folks at the Civic Arena have really come through for us, adding a couple of new heaters; it was a very comfortable 75+ degrees all weekend. This along with the many additional enhancements they have made over the past couple of years has really made this a great venue."
