The sixth annual Bayou Home Show and Cannatas Food Festival will be held March 7-8 at Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center.

Southeastern Louisiana Home Builders Association, MaxHome and Cannatas Market are sponsoring the festival.

The show will feature 120 booths with products and services for the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, siding, solar products and countertops.

Tony DEramo with JAAS Productions, the company planning the event, said the show allows shoppers to compare product prices to find whats best for their homes.

Cannatas Food Festival will have free food samples, tastings, coupons and recipes from over 40 vendors.

Jerry DEramo with JAAS Productions said Cannatas joined the festival four years ago.

Youre not preoccupied with getting your groceries done and getting out of the store. And, you can actually talk with the people about what the products are all about, he said.

Between 6,000 and 8,000 attendees are expected.

Its really a great opportunity to have a local grocery chain participate with us for a lot of reasons. Several of those are that it is a great way to thank their customer base for being so loyal to them, he said.
