The Hammers and Home Show is set to start on October 2 in Leesburg, where a minimum of 35 vendors will be showcased, right from kitchen designers to remodelers, starting from 8 a.m. to about three in the afternoon. The venue is Main Street Receptions.

The show is a treat for those who love home improvement shows aired on TV, with local experts expected to give live demonstrations on many things. The event is brought courtesy of Home Builders Association based in Lake and Sumter Counties.

The executive director of the organization, Linda Nagle, said that there would be live demonstrations displaying the usage of some different products as well as techniques in use.

The director believes the home improvement show will be very informative for the attendees as well as for those who love doing things by themselves, while those who love learning about different services and products from local companies have the chance.

The event will be highlighting birdhouses handcrafted and made by Future Builders of America members’ chapter from Tavares High School and Leesburg High School. As a fundraising move for the two groups, the birdhouses will be up for sale.

There will also be a feature of giveaways and door prizes, together with drawing worth $500 taking place by 3 p.m. For those who are above 18 years of age, they could register since they hardly need to be there to win, as the Linda Nagle said.

Those attending could come with nonperishable foods, which will be donated by Home Builders Association to a food pantry from the area.

Another attraction for visitors to the home improvement show is 2011 new cars made by local dealers.
