PORT ANGELES — More than 120 vendors will pack into the Port Angeles High School gymnasium for the 29th annual KONP Home Show on Saturday and Sunday.
The annual free show draws 7,000 to 10,000 people to learn more about home building, maintenance, renovation, purchase and repair.
It will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Port Angeles High School gymnasium, 304 E. Park Ave.
A new aspect to the event this year is a “best of show” award for the vendor selected by the most participants, said Stan Comeau, KONP’s advertising and sales manager.
The best vendor will win bragging rights based on the most votes from everyone attending the show.
“It can be based on anything they want — the most attractive booth, the products — anything they want,” he said.
Visitors can bring in entry forms, which were included in a Home Show booklet mailed to area residents, for a random drawing for a $1,450 cash prize, he said.
“It really is a nice event for anyone to come and enjoy,” Comeau said.
Vendors from throughout the North Olympic Peninsula and some from beyond will show off the latest in home decor and building, while others will provide information about mortgages and lifestyle.
Energy efficiency
The Clallam County Public Utility District, the title sponsor for the event, will bring along its “house on wheels” to demonstrate energy efficiency.
Power Trip Energy will present two solar energy presentations: one at 11 a.m. Saturday and another at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Homeowners and businesses can learn how to generate clean, renewable energy with grid-tied solar electric systems.
Businesses and agencies such as Wave Broadband and the city of Port Angeles will be available to talk about setting up bundling and services for a home.
