LCHBA Home & Garden Show
has everything from DYI to FYI
Las Cruces Bulletin
It’s not spring yet, but it sure feels like it. This is a time of year that the pen and pad come out, and plans are made to prep homes for landscape artistry, roof repair, renovations or finally taking a look at outfitting your home with solar energy.
Whether you’re a doit- yourselfer, just looking for information or are ready to find the best man or woman for the job, you need look no further than the 35th annual Las Cruces Home Builders Association (LCHBA) Home & Garden Show. The two-day event is slated for 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 5, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 6, at the Las Cruces Convention Center, 680 E. University Ave.
Anyone looking to buildahomeorrenovate and improve one, can find what they need at the show.
There will be between 80 and 100 vendors — all related to home improvement.
“The purpose of the show is for people looking for people to improve or add on to their homes, or even make their homes more efficient,” said LCHBA CEO Steve Chavira. “Every year, we try to come up with a theme that adds a new flavor to the show.”
This year’s theme is “The Valley.”
“When you think about Las Cruces and southern New Mexico, you think about driving through the valley,” Chavira said. “We really want to show the rich diversity that the Mesilla Valley has to offer.”
At the show, the theme will be celebrated in a variety of ways such as a display of artwork that typifies the Mesilla Valley. The experience will be a “visual representation of what you’ll see as you drive through the Mesilla Valley,” Chavira said.
He also mentioned that the Home & Garden Show is a good place for getting ideas. Perhaps you’re a renter who’s thinking of buying, a new homeowner without the funds yet for major projects or just curious at what’s new and different. Everything will be at the show, and attendees can get connected with vendors who can provide information and help get projects off the ground.
There will be a variety of demonstrations and speakers, for those who want to see how things work, or for do-it-yourself gurus looking for their next big project.
