Home Show Draws Crowd

Organizers of this year's Chatham-Kent Home & Garden Show in the Bradley Centre say it was a success and drew about 5,000 people.

Organizer Barb Price says initial comments are positive and a lot of the vendors are already asking about space for next year.

"The feedback from exhibitors is nothing but positive, they've gotten really good leads from the show," she says. "90% of the exhibitors have said they want their same space or bigger space (next year)."

And one of the vendors tells BlackburnNews.com the relaxed atmosphere of a home show gives customers a chance to ask questions and learn about products they might not otherwise consider.
