One more sign that life is returning to almost normal: An in-person home and garden show!
After a year off due to the pandemic, the Auburn Spring Home Show returns to the Gold Country Fairgrounds for three days of exhibits, vendors and lots of mostly outdoor recreational shopping.
Open this Friday through Sunday, the event will still observe COVID protocols including face masks and social distancing. Many vendors will use outdoor booths to show off their wares and services.
Hours are: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 14; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 15; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 16.
Although somewhat scaled back compared to past years, this is going to be a big event. Organizers expect about 1,000 exhibits and vendors, ranging from landscaped vignettes to an International Food Court.
Among the highlights: Landscapers Meadow. Like a park within the fairgrounds, it features show gardens created by local landscape designers. Shaded by trees, it’s an oasis of ideas as well as a cool place to take a break.
