WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT<br />

THE SHOW?<br />

This is such a great tradition in <strong>Cincinnati</strong>.<br />

Some of our vendors have been<br />

featured since the beginning—for all<br />

55 shows. But whether they have been<br />

around for years, or are new to the<br />

show, our 400-plus exhibitors want to<br />

bring you up-to-date, quality information<br />

that you can use.<br />

SPEAKING OF UP-TO-DATE,<br />

WHAT TRENDS ARE YOU<br />

SEEING THIS YEAR?<br />

We survey attendees after every show<br />

as well as talking with our exhibitors<br />

about the requests they are getting.<br />

This year we’re seeing a lot of interest<br />

in pools, hardscaping—specifically<br />

concrete and pavers— and solar power.<br />

WHAT IS AN ATTRACTION<br />

NOT TO BE MISSED?<br />

Definitely the seven feature gardens.<br />

You’ll want to stroll through the outdoor<br />

inspiration created by <strong>Cincinnati</strong>’s<br />

top landscapers.<br />

ARE THERE SPECIAL EVENTS<br />

I SHOULD PLAN AROUND?<br />

Sure! One of the most popular is “Ask a<br />

Designer.” On Saturdays and Sundays,<br />

the talented designers from Sacksteder’s<br />

Interiors will offer free consultations.<br />

So, bring your questions,<br />

photos, and samples down to the show<br />

and take advantage of their expert<br />

knowledge.<br />

Plus we have a few special dates set<br />

aside for saving cash:<br />

• Hero Days. On both Sundays,<br />

active military personnel, veterans,<br />

fire, police, healthcare workers, and<br />

first responders receive free admission<br />

with a valid ID.<br />

• Leap Year Babies. Anyone born on<br />

<strong>February</strong> 29, showing a valid ID, gets<br />

in free on Thursday, <strong>February</strong> 29.<br />

• Ohio Lottery Day. On Friday,<br />

<strong>March</strong> 1 bring in a non-winning lottery<br />

ticket and get $5 off the regular admission<br />

price of $15 at the box office.<br />
