Cornwall Ontario –  It’s a welcome tradition for thousands of Cornwallites as we welcome the warmer weather after a long cold winter. It’s the annual Spring Home & Leisure Show and the Chamber invites you to the Civic Complex and Come in to the Outdoors.

Cornwall Chamber Spring Show

“After a long, cold winter, our Spring Show promises to be a wonderful way to leave the cold and snow behind,” reports Lezlie Strasser, the Chamber’s Executive Manager. “Once again we’ll have close to 100 exhibitors on hand with all of the latest in home and garden products and services. It promises to be an exciting event for thousands of people across the Cornwall region.”

As is the Show’s tradition, there will be many demonstrations and each exhibit will have professionals on hand to answer questions and offer handy tips for your latest home improvement project. It’s a great way for area consumers to get a first-hand look at terrific new products and services to help them get the most out of their lawns and gardens.

City Central

One of the major exhibits will be the return of City Central – which is moving to the centre of the show floor this year. As in past years, City Central will connect people with a variety of municipal programs and services, with City staff on hand to answer questions. This includes information on changes to the City’s waste collection services, Cornwall Transit, Cornwall Police as well as information on the City’s employment opportunities for summer students.

Golf

A perennial favourite at the Spring Home and Leisure Show is the Summerheights Golf Challenge. It’s a perfect opportunity to dust off the clubs and try your luck in a long drive competition.

Special Contests

Along with the exhibits and fun activities are the prizes and once again, some lucky show visitor will walk away with a bonus — just for visiting. This year’s grand prize is a spectacular $1,500 Traeger Pellet BBQ. It comes with a terrific accessory package along with a $1,000 gift certificate for food purchases with a total value of over $3,000.
