Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show 2019: All You Need To Know

Bedford, PA – Bedford County’s signature celebration of spring, the Chamber is pleased to invite the community to the 24th annual Home, Garden and Lifestyle Show, presented by Homewood at Spring House Estates: Saturday and Sunday, April 6th and 7th at the Bedford County Fairgrounds.

A wonderful combination of tried-and-true standards and new features, the 2019 HGL Show will offer something for everyone.

Guests will be welcomed to the show by our presenting partner, Homewood at Spring House Estates, the region’s premier retirement community.  Admission is FREE and guests can register for a free daily door prize drawing featuring products and services provided by the show vendors.

Gourmet Grilling: Among the demonstrations and activities for the weekend, Homewood at Spring House Chef Tim Turner will offer grilling demonstrations and tastings to get you ready for barbecue season.

Musical Entertainment Announced: The State Farm Office of Bedford, with agents Matt Randall and Michael Meehan are also major show partner, as sponsor of the weekend’s Entertainment & Activities, including live music Saturday by Route 869 (noon & 2pm) and Sunday by Coltt Winter Lepley (noon-3pm) weather permitting.

Guests of the Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show have access to dozens of home improvement exhibits and experts.  Whether you’re looking to create a new outdoor living space, update your kitchen or bathroom, furnish your man cave, install a new heating and cooling system, or almost any other project, the area’s experts will be under one roof, waiting to meet you.

Doing business locally means supporting neighborhood businesses, keeping important dollars in our own community. Personalized customer service is another benefit of buying local, where a handshake is still an important business tool, and where families proudly put their name and reputation on every job they do.

Outdoor Exhibits: In addition to dozens of indoor exhibits, Jordan Hall will be bursting with outdoor displays as well, including many opportunities to view and test the latest in outdoor machinery.
