From February 7 through 9, the Home and Outdoor Living Show put on by Suburban Indy Shows will come to Grand Park Events Center in Westfield. The show was originally conceived to connect suburban Indy homeowners with local businesses for landscape, improvement and building needs.
“The home show helps local companies introduce themselves to local homeowners who need their services,” says Donell Walton, owner of Suburban Indy Shows.
Suburban Indy Shows holds two home shows every year. This year will include shows in February and September. Walton launched the first show in September 2017 at Grand Park.
The Home and Outdoor Living Show will feature something for everyone. There will be over 200 exhibitors, including local businesses and contractors ready to meet homeowners in the area. Exhibitors will be available throughout the show to talk to anyone interested in their services.
“If you don’t have any projects to do, come and enjoy the stage presentations,” Walton says. “Dream of all the things you can do in the future.”
Stage presentations sponsored by Belgard, a paver and hardscape company, will include Dr. Lori’s Free Antique Appraisal Comedy Show, Fox 59’s Junior Meteorologist Experience for kids ages 6 to 12, and special kids’ events all day on February 9.
If approachable business representatives and fascinating presentations don’t excite your interest, there will be plenty of opportunities to shop and explore additional local businesses and artists. Succulents, homemade bath and body products, foods, Indiana-based clothing and fashion, and handmade furniture will be available for purchase.
For children, February 9 will likely be the best day to visit. Children 12 and under will receive free admission on any day of the show, but February 9 will be especially geared toward children and parents. There will be plenty of fun activities including a dinosaur show, a tea party with princesses, a magician, glitter tattoos and more. Friday and Saturday will also feature kids’ activities including a bounce house.
“It’s a good way for kids to get rid of some cooped-up energy in February,” Walton says.
Hours for the Home and Outdoor Living Show are February 7 and February 8 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; February 9 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will be held at the Grand Park Events Center in Westfield. Tickets are $5 online and $10 at the door. For more information, visit suburbanindyshows.com.
