Home show back to serve builders

The three days of the West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association Home Show are weatherproof.

Despite a National Weather Service forecast calling for on-and-off rain and possible snow showers this weekend, the majority of the displays are under the roof of the spacious Lycoming College Recreation Center at 508 Mulberry St.

Hours of operation are 3 to 9 p.m. today, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

More than 170 vendors registered for what will be the 55th annual Home Show, according to Marion Nyman, co-executive officer of the show and association that received its charter 56 years ago.

Nyman and her husband, Walt, said the show is an annual rite of spring for some.

Any type of home builder, remodeler, kitchen and bathroom or flooring installer and financial expert is available, she said.

"It's a must-see for any contemplating a home improvement," she said.

Dispelling any rumor it's a strictly contractor-only show, Nyman said it's open to the general public.

Walking into the show or visiting around the outer court booths, including a wood carver on display, may require bringing an umbrella or rain gear, however.

The forecast indicates daily high temperatures in the low 40s but with periodic rain starting after 3 p.m. today, and a higher percentage possibility of showers for Saturday and early Sunday.
