Wandering around the Holum Expo Center at the Brown County Fairgrounds, Becky Washnok held a packet thick with brochures on paint colors, home designs and other samples.
Washnok was one of an estimated 2,000 people perusing booths at the 12th annual Home Show on Saturday and Sunday. Put on by the Aberdeen Home Builders Association, the event draws landscapers, contractors and other vendors in the area to the fairgrounds to display their skills and wares for potential home builders and renovators.
Washnok, a native of Aberdeen, moved back from Wyoming more than a year ago and was researching how to build a home.
“I’m just looking for ideas from vendors,” said Washnok, 30.
And ideas were abundant at the expo. There were contractors that advertised laying down the foundation of a home, others that talked about floors, some that designed garden landscape, and still others who specialized in pools.
Laura Staebner, chairwoman of the event, said there were 70 vendors at the expo.
