overflow of exhibitors. The Home Builders Association of Jackson County is proud that
their Home Show contributes to the local economy in so many ways: The exhibitors promote
their products and skills, stimulating business in the valley, and the local motels,
restaurants and stores also benefit from the exhibitors and the approximately 20,000+
