Maricopa County Home Show Tips

5 Ways to Get the Most Out of the Maricopa County Home and Garden Shows

By Judy Hedding, About.com

On the previous page I provided the details about attending the Maricopa County Home Shows, like dates, ticket prices, and locations. Here are some tips for getting the most out of the home shows.

Maricopa County Home Show Tips

1. Make a list of the projects or products that you are interested in for your home or garden. The vendor directory will help you narrow down the exhibitors that will be the most important to you.
2. Attend seminars. Take advantage of the free education and tips you can receive provided by people who know how to design, build, maintain or fix just that thing you want to tackle.
3. Don't be afraid to talk to exhibitors about your project needs.
4. Bring any important information about your projects with you, like measurements, small samples or sketches.
5. There are both indoor and outdoor exhibits (depending on the location), so dress accordingly. Wear comfortable shoes, and plan on spending the whole day. A couple of hours just won't do it!
