Home and Garden Shows

I love to go to Home and Garden Shows. They have a low entry fee - usually just a couple of dollars, most provide candy, so when you take your children it is like trick or treating in the spring :), you can register for prizes (I have won an electric heater, a basket of lotions, t-shirt, college credits, disaster preparation bucket, wind chimes, chip clips, plastic cups, cup cozies, a birthday party at the bowling alley for one of my sons, 2 tickets to the rodeo at our county fair, and my husband won a t-shirt), you can learn about different services in your area, get a free newspaper, local tourism guides, sample apple cider, blackberry cobbler, cookies, strawberry shortcake, apple cobbler, beer bread, dips, and it is a fun cheap way to spend time with the family.
