Home Show in Ripon on the First Day of Spring

Spring is the time to start thinking about home makeovers and projects, and the Ripon Area Home Show will be a great place to get ideas on what to do and how to do it. Builders, contractors, landscapers and other businesses that cater to homeowners will be on hand to display their products and talk about their services on Saturday, March 21, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Comfort Suites Royal Ridges Conference Center in Ripon.

“There are so many businesses right in our own backyard that offer products and services that homeowners will be looking for as they start sprucing up their homes this spring,” said Paula Price, executive director of the Ripon Chamber of Commerce. “Having these businesses all in one place at the same time is an easy and convenient way for consumers to find out what is available and to meet the people who provide those services. As an added bonus, we’ll be giving away door prizes throughout the day!”

There is no admission fee to attend the Home Show, but people are encouraged to donate canned goods, a box of cereal or $1/person to the Community Thrift Store and Food Pantry at the door.   Lunch and snacks, prepared by Royal Ridges, will be available for purchase during the show.

The Ripon Area Home Show is sponsored by the Ripon Chamber of Commerce, CENURY 21 Properties Unlimited, Hometown Broadcasting, Comfort Suites Royal Ridges and the Ripon Commonwealth Press/Express. Call the Ripon Chamber office at (920) 748-6764 or email info@ripon-wi.com for more information.
