The Expo will take place from 11am until 5pm on Saturday, March 29, and 11am until 3 pm Sunday, March 30, with free admission.

“We are excited to have a stacked lineup of 50 vendors and over 61 booths, making it the largest home expo in our region! There’s still time for any businesses, vendors, or service organizations to register as an exhibitor,” says Matthew Packman, Membership Director for the Centralia Chamber of Commerce.

This year’s Expo will feature the finest in outdoor power equipment for your lawn care needs, home improvement, pest control, home energy service, public transportation, senior living, healthcare, and much more.

Kaskaskia College’s mobile Manufacturing Lab will be at the beginning of the event from 11am until 2pm on Saturday, with 30-minute demonstrations on carpentry, programming smart thermostats, welding, and industrial technology.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase on both days of the Expo courtesy of Crooked Creek Winery, Farmstand 161 and Colden Brewery.

“With Centralia located touching four surrounding counties, we invite everyone to come to Centralia on March 29 and 30 to see what the Home Expo has to offer. Plus, you can go shopping or eat out when you’re here!” adds Packman.

Attendees can enter to win prizes that will be drawn every half hour. In addition, several exhibitors will have their own prize drawings or giveaways.
