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 />
