Greater Olean Home and Garden Show
APRIL 17-19

You think a planter might make the perfect patio addition.  Or maybe you have a nagging need to update that ‘60s kitchen.  Instead of perusing endless magazines for ideas, you can simply ask the experts at the Greater Olean Area Home and Garden Show at the William O. Smith Recreation Center in Olean.  The home show is co-sponsored by the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce and its thirty-seven corporate sponsors.  More than eighty of the area’s leading businesses are expected to exhibit their wares and services at the Home and Garden Show, scheduled from Friday, April 17th, through Sunday, April 19th at the William O. Smith Recreation Center, 551 East State Street in Olean, across from Bradner’s Stadium.  Show hours will be Friday, 5 PM-9 PM; Saturday, 10 AM-8 PM; and Sunday, 10 AM -4 PM.

Nancy Morgan, the Chamber’s Membership Coordinator, says, “The annual Home & Garden Show is brimming with practical ideas, real solutions and a host of applicable ideas to take home.  Plus tons of gardens and equipment to get ideas, information or simply admire.  Show goers can talk to a number of area experts and learn about construction, decorating trends, accessories, cabinets, appliances and more --all in one place.”  Displays will include landscaping, patios, window replacement, siding, heating and air conditioning, pools, spas, furniture, computer technology and much more.  Also, representatives from local banks, home builders and insurance companies will be on hand to meet show goers.

New this year, Cabot Cheese of Vermont will be showcasing its cheeses with a cheese tasting at different times throughout the show.  Cabot Cheese is a farm family-owned company of 1500 farmer-owners nestled throughout New England and upstate New York.  The multimillion dollar dairy products company produces butter, sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack, as well as their acclaimed premium cheddar cheeses.  Their brand can be found in fine specialty stores, health food outlets and supermarkets from Vermont to Florida.

The Cattaraugus County Health Department will also be hosting their Water Tasting Test on Saturday during the Home Show.  Come out and vote for the best tasting water in the county.

The returning exhibitors say the show is one of the best ways to market their products and services to potential customers.  The Home Show is always a jumpstart to their sales season.  The show provides them with many opportunities/sales to carry them for the year!
