Home and Garden Idea Fair at Clark County Event Center

Clark Public Utilities 21st Annual Event.

Are you ready to…get inspired…get educated…or just get started? Then make sure you visit the 21st Annual Clark Public Utilities Home and Garden Idea Fair at the Clark County Event Center happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 27, 28, and 29, 2012.

The fair features hundreds of ideas on how to make your home, yard and garden a more beautiful, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly place. There will be eleven “elaborate landscape displays” this year as well as the area’s largest plant sale with many of our local nurseries. Also new this year, the Salmon Creek Farmers Market will be featured outside along the midway.

Many different hands on activities will keep the young ( and young at heart) entertained. Another plus…being as the weather in the beautiful Pacific Northwest can be a bit unpredictable, the Home and Garden Idea Fair is held inside the Clark County Event Center (17402 NE Delfel Rd, Ridgefield) so rain or shine, you’re sure to have a good time!

Admission is free, and parking is $6. Friday and Saturday hours are from 9am to 6pm; Sunday from 10am to 5pm. Please also “bring a can if you can” as canned food donations will be accepted for our local food banks.
