108 Vendors registered for the 39th Annual Watertown Home Show!! We are excited to report that 27 were brand NEW along with a few return Vendors!! This annual event is the largest fundraising event put on by the local non-profit organization, Watertown Area Home Builders Association. This year's event happened on March 14th and 15th. The annual event brings all kinds of Vendors under one roof to help with all kinds of home projects!! 

There was a Legislative Cracker Barrel on Saturday March 14th where the public got to ask questions and hear from District 4 & 5 Legislators Dylan Jordan, Stephanie Sauder, Matt Roby, Kent Roe, and Glen Vilhauer. Josephine Garcia was unfortunately not able to join us. It was again moderated by Mike Tanner from Watertown Radio. It is always an interesting conversation hearing what happened during session and plans going forth. We appreciate the crowd, their questions, and understanding of keeping it at an hour (I do always wonder how long it would go if we allowed it to keep going 🤔). Also thank you for allowing Julie to get a picture with all of the Legislators right away so she could get back to the Home Show while some of the crowd continued to chat with the Legislators. 

On Sunday March 15th, those in attendance had great conversation and were able to enjoy all the activities of the Home Show! The public got a chance to visit with Brandi Hanten and Reid Peterson from the City of Watertown. We always appreciate their openness to answer questions and discuss all things housing, codes, etc. The Lumberchaun hid a bit better than he did on Saturday - what a fun time watching lots of people look for him throughout the day!! Julie had to eventually announce which hall he was hiding in so he could be found!

Plan to join us for our 40th Annual Watertown Home Show to be held March 6 & 7, 2027!! 

Along with the numerous vendors to help with home projects, attendees also enjoyed several Food Vendors, a variety of vendors in the Home & Craft Area, kids built a house shaped bird feeder assisted by instructors of the Lake Area Technical College's Building Trades program, kids got creative with the builder blocks and also enjoyed the grip strength contest and remote controlled construction vehicles! The $5 admission for anyone 18 and over got attendees a weekend wristband. This assists with WAHBA's mission:
