Home show, food festival kicks off Saturday – Houma Courier

By Garrett Ohlmeyer Staff Writer

This weekend, the Bayou Home Show and Cannatas Festival of Food will feature hundreds of options for renovating and remodeling homes.

The festival, in its eighth year, will have about 120 booths with companies that specialize in home and garden renovation and about 40 booths with a focus on food.

It will be held at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd., Houma, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.Admission is $6, with free admission for children under age 12.

The home-renovating section will have home and gardening supplies, and companies that can help with installation.

One of the main focuses of the show is to make remodeling certain aspects of a home easier,said show managerTony DEramo.

Its just a place that you can come and kind of do everything that you were looking to do all year for your home, DEramo said. So if youve got big plans to do a kitchen remodel or anything like that, you can really get it all done at the home show.

If you want a room remodel, you dont have to go and have 10 different people come to your house. You can kind of talk to everybody around here, set up appointments and get it all done, he added.

The festival of food will feature Louisiana-based companies such as Tony Chacheres, Zatarains and PJs Coffee, with food samples and coupons available.

DEramo said the food booths are a great addition to the home remodeling aspect of the event.

They just kind of really go together, DEromo said. People in Louisiana love to eat.
