HAGERSTOWN — It’s a home show — a home show with a range.

From kitchens to windows, rain barrels to gutters, Washington County’s 25th annual Home Show is more than just bricks and mortar.

The water category ranges from swimming pools to wells.

Banks were there on Saturday to talk about financing.

There was information about spas, fire protection and security alarms — even how to keep bugs away.

The variety of vendors continues to grow, said Debi Harrington, executive director of the Home Builders Association of Washington County, which organizes the show.

She said there were 168 individual vendors this year at Hagerstown Community College’s Athletic, Recreation and Community Center and Saturday’s attendance was in the thousands. The show will continue Sunday.

Donald Canfield Jr. and Theresa Canfield, who live near Sharpsburg, had two interests in mind at the show — a hot tub and a new roof.

They found vendors in both areas and plan to visit a showroom on Monday in their quest for a hot tub.

“Now is a good time to get ’em,” Theresa Canfield said.

Ron and Julie Long of Williamsport said they usually are somewhere else when the home show happens, but they found time for it this time. Which was helpful because they’re planning to remake their front porch.

Ron Long said they stopped at three vendors’ booths to talk about concrete and found one that can do what they want.

“We’ve enjoyed the displays very much ...” Julie Long said. “Everybody was most helpful.”

With only scattered patches of snow left, homeowners’ minds are drifting to the grass and dirt outside, Harrington said, and they’re thinking about remodeling and other warm-weather work.

At the Mosquito Squad booth, Adam Shew talked about pest control.

Spraying every three weeks and creating a “barrier” can cut down on mosquitoes by 85 percent to 90 percent and also eliminates ticks, fleas, gnats and flies, he said.

“We allow you to take back your yard,” Shew said.

Harold E. “Butch” Brooks Jr., general manager of Country Fresh Foods in Baltimore, said his company delivers organic food. He said younger generations, especially, are learning the importance of having food free of chemicals.

Some people stopped at the Invisible Fence Brand of Apple Country booth to see Autumn, a 7-month-old puppy, and stayed to learn about the business.

Dave Swierczynski, representing the company, said it offers inside and outside products and services.

“This allows a dog to be safe at home,” he said.

Brooks and Swierczynski gave the show good reviews in their first time as vendors there.

“The first three, four hours of this was crazy,” Swierczynski said. “We ran out of pads, notepads, all kinds of stuff ... We’re definitely coming back.”
