ooking for signs of spring? Look no further than the two-day Florence Home & Garden Show at the Florence Events Center. Doors open Friday, March 4, at noon for the 24th annual show. The event runs Friday and Saturday only this year, and admission is free. Show hours are Friday, noon to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Three Rivers Casino and Resort, Oregon Pacific Bank, Central Lincoln PUD and the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring the event, which is hosted by Coast Radio and the Siuslaw News. “We made a few changes to the show as we hopefully exit the two-year pandemic,” explained Jon Thompson, general manager of Coast Radio KCST/ KCFM. “We’re offering free admission to keep the lines from forming and encourage attendance. We also eliminated the four-hour Sunday, but start two
hours earlier on Friday.” The show lineup features 16 new vendor booths that have never been in the show before. “We’ve got five or six vendors demonstrating and selling new household products,” Thompson said. “We’ve got food tasting opportunities and a wide variety of vendor services and
products — from granite countertops and cabinets to electricians and fencing.” Laurel Bay Garden’s Centerpiece Design will feature indoor plants & décor, native landscaping and water features. The Home & Garden Show incorporates more than 40
vendor exhibit booths, landscape design, food tasting, demonstrations and giveaways. There will be a grand prize drawing for $500 in cash, a $250 gift certificate from Laurel Bay Gardens and a hybrid water heater and Nest thermostat from Central Lincoln PUD.
In addition, the American Rhododendron Society Florence Chapter will be giving away a Rhododendron each hour of the show. “March is the start of spring from a lot of people’s perspective,” Thompson said. “The home show weekend is the weekend that the clocks change again. And March tends to be when we enter our spring phase in the Florence area. For people wanting to work on gardens and yards and do landscaping or have some projects they want to get going for the summer, the timing on it makes it a really viable point in the year to do it.” The Oregon Health Authority requires masks at this time and Florence Events Center and show producers are asking that everyone follows the mandate.
