What's Up This Weekend: 2014 Fall North Atlanta Home Show Comes to Gwinnett Center

For the first time, the popular North Atlanta Home Show will be presented in the fall, as well as in the spring. The Fall North Atlanta Home Show is scheduled for Oct. 10-12, 2014 at Gwinnett Center and will feature more than 150 exhibitors showcasing the latest products and services for inside and outside the home. The three-day event includes guest speakers, live radio broadcasts, buyer discounts, prizes and much more. General admission is $7 and tickets may be purchased at the door. The Fall North Atlanta Home Show is a SEMCO Show, www.AtlantaHomeShow.com.

“Each year, the February North Atlanta Home Show has grown in terms of attendees and exhibiting companies,” said Michael Schoppenhorst, president of SEMCO Productions. “After talking with exhibitors and attendees, it just made sense to expand the show to two seasons of the year, so people can talk to the experts about ideas for home renovation, expansion, building, home décor, landscaping and outdoor living. As the economy continues to strengthen, we’re seeing an increase in homeowners moving ahead with improvement projects they may have put on hold for the past couple of years, and there’s no better place to comparison shop and take advantage of special incentives and show discounts than at the North Atlanta Home Show.”

Along with the exhibitors, the event will feature three days of informative speakers, including fan favorite Walter Reeves and Realtor and HGTV personality Tonya M. Williams on the Reliable Heating & Air Home Show Stage. Fan favorite Chip Wade, host of Emmy-winning HGTV and DIY Network show “Elbow Room”, will make a special appearance on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Sugar Hill Outdoors booth.

Friday, Oct. 10 is “Trade Day” sponsored by Window World of Atlanta. On Friday only, anyone who works in the home industry will receive free admission to the Show, simply by showing his or her business card at the Show’s main entrance. Saturday, Oct. 11 the Show is scheduled to begin with a live broadcast of 95.5 FM and AM 750 WSB Radio’s “The Lawn and Garden Show” with Walter Reeves and a taping of “The Home Fix-It Show” with Dave Baker.
