Lincoln Home and Garden Show opens at Lancaster Event Center

The Nebraska Builders Home and Garden Show kicked off the weekend at the Lancaster Event Center this afternoon. Nearly 300 businesses attended the event. Those who participated were offered a multitude of ideas to spruce up their back yard or fix up the house. 

“It’s brutal outside, so you might as well come here. There are lots of people that we’ve seen that we know and other companies that we’ve done business with already stop and talk to them” Kari Beckenhauer, a resident of Lincoln, said. “It’s a lot better than making 40 phone calls. I can just come here and talk to several people.”

The Home and Garden Show will continue Feb. 9th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Feb. 10th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It costs $8 to get in. However, the cost is only $7 if participants donate a can of food for the food bank. Twelve and under can get in for free.
