Bedford County, PA — The Bedford County Chamber of Commerce invites one and all to the 2024 Home, Garden, Lifestyle & Outdoors Show, presented in partnership with Juniata Trading Co. and State Farm Agents Matt Randall and Michael Meehan.
“The Home Show has been our signature celebration of spring for more than twenty-five years,” said Chamber President-CEO Kellie Goodman Shaffer,“ and this show has grown and evolved to reflect the needs of our businesses and the interests of the community.”
Blaine Smith, owner of Juniata Trading Company was instrumental in adding the “Outdoors” features to the show four years ago.
“With the pandemic limiting indoor activities, it was a perfect opportunity to showcase what the great outdoors and Juniata Trading Co. have to offer,” recalled Smith. “We were able to meet another demographic of people that we may not otherwise be able to connect with. It has been such a rewarding experience, and we look forward to another successful show in 2023.”
Juniata Trading Co. partners are lending their expertise during programs, demonstrations and Explore the Outdoors opportunities with the PA Game Commission (Sat.) and the Fort Bedford Chapter of Trout Unlimited and PA Fish and Boat Commission’s Reynoldsdale Fish Hatchery Stocking Truck (Sun.)
