Coming after two long COVID years, the 21st 91原创 Home Show looked busier than ever, and it was just the beginning, said organizer Darcy Hope.

The three-day event, which started on Friday, May 27 in Brookswood, featured more than 100 vendors, showcasing a wide variety of home and lifestyle products.

Hope shared that the turnout on Friday was higher than anticipated, and they were expecting a lot more people on Saturday and Sunday.

Food vendors from as far as Okanagan joined the exhibitors selling home appliances and lifestyle items. For Adam Harris and Mellisha Fehr of Slow Bottle Sunday, it was an opportunity to showcase their wide variety of sauces, made from locally sourced ingredients and rescued B.C. grown stone fruits.
