Vacation Channel adds remodeling show

The 2007 Tri-Lakes Remodeling Show, with a guest appearance by Andrew Dan-Jumbo from The Learning Channel’s home makeover shows “While You Were Out” and “Trading Spaces,” will be held Oct. 5–7 at the new downtown convention center.

According to Cinda Bauer, The Vacation Channel promotions manager, Dan-Jumbo will hold workshops and question-and-answer sessions during the three-day show. He will also appear at a cocktail reception Oct. 5 for a fund-raising event to support Mountain Country Homes of Hope of Stone and Taney counties.

TVCEvents most recently produced the 11th annual Branson Tri-Lakes Building and Home Show Feb. 9–11 at the Chateau on the Lake in Branson. Bauer said about 5,500 people attended the show, which had about 135 vendors. In 2008, this exhibition, scheduled for March 7–9, will move to the Branson Convention Center. “We have outgrown our space available at the Chateau,” Bauer said, noting that the downtown convention center would hold twice the number of booths.

The fall expo will target remodeling and renovation, while the spring show will focus on new construction.
