The event which will feature booths that showcase new ideas from builders, contractors, electricians, carpenters and plumbers is set for March 15 at the Lauderdale County Agri-Center.
In addition to home builders from all over the state, this year's show will feature representatives from the Lauderdale County Master Gardeners part of the Mississippi State University Extension Service office.
Businesses specializing in decorating, carpeting, plumbing and other areas will be spotlighted. Seal said about 30 businesses will participate; he said he has had inquiries from people in Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana.
