NO MATTER HOW LONG THE WINTER, SPRING IS SURE TO FOLLOW!
You’re invited to the premier event welcoming spring to the Fargo-Moorhead area! For over 60 years, the Red River Valley Home & Garden Show has encouraged residents to dream about warmer weather and access the experts to make all your home improvement plans.
This year’s features are sure to offer something for everyone. New and exciting additions include Lake Home Avenue, the Spring Market and Broadway Square presented by the Fargo Park District!
We’re bringing the fun of downtown’s Broadway Square inside the Fargodome showcasing live music, organized fitness, games and yummy treats. Check out the schedule tailored for young families that includes chalkfest and movies at the Square. Children age 17 and younger are always free at the show, but be sure to bring them on Saturday for free face painting by PiKadilly Face Painting at Broadway Square in the southwest corner.
Back for an enthusiastic encore is our Backyard Beer Garden newly designed and hosted by Hebron Brick Supply. Grab an ice-cold drink and relax while you dream about all the possibilities for your home and yard!
Lake Home Avenue brings all the best for lake country living along with cabin products and services. The Spring Market showcases local artists, makers, and vendors. Unique products will include gourmet food, jewelry, home decor, apparel, children’s and pet-related items and much more!
Our workshop presenters include Accent Contracting, Bell Bank and Baker Nursery Garden & Gift to get you geared up for a refresh, remodel, refinance or redesign.
We all shop and use online resources because it’s quick and convenient. But the show is an “experience.” It saves you time by putting all the professionals in one place and providing valuable connections. It also gives you the opportunity to see, feel and touch that the internet just can’t provide.
Bring your plans for what’s next on your project list! This is the perfect opportunity to connect with hundreds of home improvement and building industry professionals. They are the true stars of the show, available in person under one roof for one weekend only, Feb. 24-26, at the Fargodome.

CONSTRUCTING A CENTURY OF EXCELLENCE
Hebron Brick Supply is the only manufacturer of brick in North Dakota and one of the most successful brick companies in the Upper Midwest. Their ancient veins of extraordinary clay and state-of-the-art brick plant continue to yield a distinctive variety of colors.
Something inspiring for the 115-year-old company is its new home being constructed just southwest of the intersection of I-94 and Sheyenne Street in West Fargo. Expect a completion date in the spring of 2023. Once the new facility is built, all of Hebron’s sales will be consolidated there and the location on Fargo’s Main Avenue will be closed.
Hebron Brick specializes in the sale of bricks, stone, fireplaces, exterior siding, and landscaping products. Company leaders are excited about this new space and the opportunities it brings for expanded offerings. With more showroom space, displays will offer all the latest in building trends. Just a few of the many new products include Davinci Fireplaces, MAC Metals steel siding, Urbana Fireplaces and Stoll Industries.
From the design process to installation Hebron Brick’s experienced staff will make sure your project comes together seamlessly. They believe the success of Hebron Brick Supply is primarily attributed to their exceptional team. A one-stop masonry products shop for homeowners, they offer all the masonry tools and supplies you need, along with helpful, expert guidance. Current locations include Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot, Rapid City, Sioux Falls and Fergus Falls.

4 STEPS
TO HOMEOWNERSHIP OR RENOVATION
18 | FEBRUARY 24-26, 2023 | HOME & GARDEN SHOW homeandgardenshowfm.com
STEPS
If you are thinking of buying a new home, or remodeling your current home, you must pay close attention to many details to ensure a smooth process. Before you start shopping and planning, sit down with the members of your household to discuss dreams, preferences and the many options available to you. Here are some things to consider:
STEP 1: FINANCING YOUR HOME OR PROJECT
The first step in the home buying or remodeling process is determining how much you can afford. To ensure that the financing process goes smoothly, buyers should consider pre-qualifying for a mortgage. Have a financing commitment in place before shopping for a new home or planning a remodel.
STEP 2: PRIORITIZING MOST-WANTED FEATURES
Before you start shopping, chat with members of your household to discuss preferences.
An easy way to organize your thoughts is to write each separate feature that you want on a 3x5 card, and arrange the cards in order of their importance to you. For instance, if you like to cook, you may want a home with a large, well-equipped kitchen. Or you may settle for a small kitchen, so that you can have extra space for a library, office or playroom.
Some home buyers seek large, open interior spaces, while others prefer traditional rooms that afford more privacy.
Consider whether your needs are likely to change over time. If you plan to add rooms, find out if there is enough space on your site for such expansion and whether such additions are permitted by your local jurisdiction.
STEP 3: SELECTING THE TYPE OF NEW HOME
Options include single-family homes to condominiums, and everything in between. Some buyers prefer homes with large yards. Others opt for condominiums where they can avoid yard maintenance entirely.
With a single-family home in a development, you'll be responsible for your own yard and home, but may be restricted to certain design elements or other regulations if there is a home owners association.
A condominium is a home in a multi-unit complex, such as an apartment building or a townhouse cluster. You own the home, and you and your neighbors jointly own the common elements, such as the land around the complex, the parking areas, building exteriors, hallways, utility pipes and recreational facilities. A condominium owners association is responsible for maintaining the jointly owned elements. The day-to-day business of the complex is generally handled by a managing agency.
STEP 4: STARTING YOUR HUNT
Now that you know the type of home or home remodel and features you are looking for, and how much you can afford, you're ready to begin searching. The Home Builders Association of Fargo-Moorhead offers many ways to assist through events like the Parade of Homes events and Red River Valley Home & Garden Show. We also have hundreds of industry-related members who would love to assist you on your house hunting journey, accessible at hbafm.com.

TRADES CAMP
BUILDING TRADES OFFER SUCCESSFUL CAREERS
You can make a great living as a professional in the construction trades. You really can! Here are two examples for you:
Dustin Murray and Darrick Guthmiller followed similar paths to their success.
Dustin earned degrees in carpentry and construction management from a local tech school and started his company, Dustin Murray Construction a few years later. He specializes in remodeling, new construction framing and finish work. Dustin enjoys working for himself and being hands-on. Most days, you can find him on the jobsite, taking on whatever challenge awaits: setting trusses, building walls or trimming out a kitchen.
Likewise, Darrick earned two degrees: one in construction technology and one architectural drafting and estimating technology from a local tech school. Today, Darrick manages his company and designs house plans. He spends much of his time at his desk or meeting with clients. He is
president at Kochmann Brothers Homes, Inc., a local custom homebuilding and remodeling company.
Both Dustin and Darrick are successful, love what they do and have accomplished it with hard work and degrees from technical schools.
It's being widely reported across the nation that skilled trades people are in dire need. The National Association of Home Builders has seen rising rates of open jobs over the past several years, and there is an inability for builders, remodelers and other trades to fill them. It's a concerning issue locally as well as employers struggle to find skilled workers.
It’s important for parents, educators and students to consider construction or technical careers. At the very least, look at the potential for salary, job security and cost of education! A four-year, college education, and those related jobs, are not for everyone. We all have different abilities,
preferences and personalities, and some of us will do better in a hands-on, active job.
In 2021, construction career wages averaged $52,950 - $57,600 in North Dakota and $57,730 - $73,370 in Minnesota according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters and construction managers are needed to build new structures and update existing buildings. Locally, the construction industry has been stable and steady. It's a wonderful environment to get into a trade, grow it as a business or career, and leverage it to provide for a satisfying lifestyle, or to support a growing family.
Home Builders Care of F-M Foundation offers scholarships for those interested in the trades and persistently promote our building industry to area youth through several events and programs throughout the year.
Visit hbcfm.com to learn more!
