Cincinnati Home + Garden Show back for another weekend at First Financial Center

YOU’RE WATCHING WLWT NEWS 5 LEADING THE WAY. I KNOW IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE WITH THE SNOW. WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT. BUT SPRING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. AND IF YOUR HOME PROJECT IS STILL ON THE TO DO LIST. WELL, THIS WEEKEND COULD BE THE INSPIRATION YOU NEED. THIS IS THE SECOND AND FINAL WEEKEND OF THE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW AT THE FIRST FINANCIAL CENTER, AND IT BRINGS TOGETHER DOZENS OF EXPERTS FOR YOU CONTRACTORS, DESIGNERS, SO MUCH MORE. AND IT’S ALL UNDER ONE ROOF. JOINING US TODAY IS KELLY SCOTT, THE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW MANAGER. KELLY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH US AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE FUN EXPO. EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS. I WAS DOWNTOWN LAST WEEKEND AND IT WAS PACKED BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE GOING TO THIS SHOW. SO GREAT STUFF HERE. TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT VISITORS CAN EXPECT AS THEY WALK THROUGH THE DOORS THIS YEAR. I KNOW, SO WE’RE ON HIATUS IN 2025. SO REALLY EXCITED TO BE BACK IN THE NEWLY RENOVATED AND NEWLY NAMED FIRST FINANCIAL CENTER. SO WE’VE GOT 370 EXHIBITORS. SO KIND OF WALL TO WALL WITH EXPERTS. AND IT’S A UNIQUE WAY TO MEET FACE TO FACE WITH PEOPLE DOING THE PROJECTS IN YOUR HOME, WHICH I THINK IS PRETTY VALUABLE IN A TIME WHERE YOU CAN BUY THINGS ONLINE. BUT REALLY FOR THESE, YOU WANT TO TALK TO THE PEOPLE, TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, BECAUSE I THINK SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE, I KNOW FRIENDS OF MINE WHO ARE SAYING, OH, I WANT TO REDO THIS, BUT THINGS ARE SO EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW. WOOD AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. HOW CAN THIS BE BENEFICIAL TO FAMILIES WHO ARE LOOKING TO MAYBE SAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY, BUT ALSO DO IT THE SMART WAY AND AND PLAN AHEAD SO YOU CAN COMPARE BETWEEN EXHIBITORS AT THE SHOW, BUT ALSO MANY OF THEM DO A SHOW SPECIAL. SO MAYBE 10% OFF A CERTAIN PROJECT. SO IT’S NICE THAT YOU CAN MEET THEM AND ASK AND THEN ALSO GET SOME SAVINGS WHILE YOU’RE THERE. AND KELLY, FOR GARDENERS ESPECIALLY THAT ARE GETTING READY FOR THIS SPRING SEASON, WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE BE DOING RIGHT NOW TO PREPARE FOR THE GROWING SEASON? WELL, I THINK YOU CAN COME MEET OUR LANDSCAPERS WHO YOU SEE THE POPS OF COLOR. THE HYACINTHS ARE IN THE SHOW, AND YOU CAN KIND OF PLAN ANY HARDSCAPE PROJECTS. A LOT OF DECKING PROJECTS AS WELL. SO THERE’S SEVEN LANDSCAPERS THIS YEAR. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN CAN COME AND SEE THEM. AND EGBERT’S LANDSCAPING, THEY’RE DOING A BEAUTIFUL GREENHOUSE FEATURE SO YOU CAN TAKE HOME. I THINK THERE’S EVEN A PURSE MADE OF MOSS. SO JUST BRING A LITTLE SPRING HOME WITH YOU ON THE WAY OUT TOO. YEAH, THEY DO SUCH A GREAT JOB. OKAY, WHAT ABOUT FOR PEOPLE OUT THERE? IF THEY ARE FIRST TIME HOMEOWNERS OR MAYBE FAMILIES AND THEY’RE BRINGING ALONG KIDS, IS THIS A FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT? IT IS. SO RECREATION OUTLET WHO’S, YOU KNOW, A STAPLE IN THE AREA. THEY’VE GOT THEIR PLACE SET SO YOU CAN FIND A LOT OF KIDS THERE. AND THEN CINCINNATI SPORTS GAMES, THEY’RE BACK AGAIN WITH A PICKLEBALL COURT AND OTHER KIND OF LIFE SIZE CHESS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO THE KIDS CAN RUN AROUND WHILE YOU BROWSE AND, YOU KNOW, PLAN A PROJECT. BUT DEFINITELY A GOOD OUTING FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. I TELL YOU, I HAVE NOT BEEN THIS YEAR. AND OF COURSE IT WAS ON HIATUS, BUT I SAID I SHOULD BE BANNED BECAUSE IT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO DO ALL SORTS OF THINGS. KELLY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND FOR LETTING US KNOW ABOUT THIS. SO ONCE AGAIN, IT IS THE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW. IT’S THIS WEEKEND, FEBRUARY 27TH THROUGH MARCH 1ST DOWN AT OUR NEWLY RENOVATED CONVENTION CENTER DOWNTOWN. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VENDORS ALL UNDER ONE ROOF. AVAILABLE ONLINE OR YOU CAN SCAN THE QR CODE HERE ON YOUR SCREEN. BY THE WAY, FRIDAY IS HERO DAY WITH FREE ADMISSION FOR MILITARY AND FIRST RESPONDERS. SO PLEASE COME ON OUT. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. WE’LL HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU AS WELL ON
