TODAY and Sunday are the last two days of the Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. The show runs today from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. If Friday's crowds are any indication, this may be the most popular show in recent memory.
This show has always kicked off the new year for home renovations and Manitobans lead the nation in that department. Manitoba is the only province where more money is spent on renovations than new home construction on a consistent basis. In that Winnipeg has the third oldest housing stock in all of Canada, home renovations are an everyday part of our lifestyle.
The Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show is unique in that it provides a free avenue for consumers to test the renovation market. The Ask a Renovator segment of the Manitoba Home Builders' Association booth is staffed with professional RenoMark renovators who are available to answer your questions about a job you may be planning or just dreaming about.
They are there to provide free 15-minute consultations to help steer you in the right direction towards an enjoyable and exciting upgrade to your home. Just come to the show and you will be able to pick the brains of one of Manitoba's finest renovators. Start your renovation off on the right foot with professional advice.
We are proud to feature Tommy Smythe, designer extraordinaire partner of Sarah Richardson. Last night, the Convention Centre theatre was packed and the crowd was thrilled with Tommy's presentation. Today at 1 p.m. is your last chance to see him.
The timing lets you come to the presentation and still be at the Jets game in time to see the puck drop. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster in the Convention Centre. Come early and stay late as your ticket to see Tommy Smythe also gets you into the Kitchen Bath and Renovation Show.
Tickets for the grand prize are being sold by volunteers from Variety, the Children's Charity. Tickets are two for $5, which enter you to win a beautiful kitchen package valued at almost $13,000.
The Kitchen and Bath Renovation Show is today and Sunday, so don't miss your chance to see all of Manitoba's best suppliers located conveniently in one convenient place.
Mike Moore is president of the Manitoba Home Builders' Association.
