An annual Sacramento respite from August heat returns this week -- with free parking.
Featuring hundreds of vendors, the Cal State Home & Garden Show opens its three-day run Friday at McClellan Conference Center in McClellan Park.
A regular August attraction in downtown Sacramento, the show recently moved to the former Air Force base. The Sacramento Convention Center, which had traditionally hosted this show, is undergoing a major overhaul. (Demolition is underway now).
Meanwhile, this huge home and garden show is enjoying the great indoors at McClellan. It's an all-indoor, air-conditioned opportunity to browse a wide range of home and garden services and products. Tackle the to-do list (or at least think about it).
As a special attraction, Sacramento auctioneer and antiques expert Brian Witherell, of "Antiques Roadshow " fame, will conduct free evaluations each day. The owner of Witherell's auction house will offer on the spot appraisals of all sorts of treasures. (One item per patron.)
McClellan Center is located at 5411 Luce Ave., McClellan, just off Interstate 80 at Watt Avenue. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 16-18.
Admission is $6 adults, children age 16 and younger admitted free. Active military and first responders admitted free with ID. On Friday only, seniors (age 65 and up) are admitted for $2. Other discount coupons are available at the show's website.
