The Home & Garden Expo was held Friday and Saturday at the Grant County Veterans' Memorial Business and Conference Center, with home and garden products, as well as vendors promoting and selling their wares. A special feature was a Kids' Corner, where kids of all ages could get their hands dirty, planting seeds or picking out a worm for their vermiculture project. Classes on gardening were also available.
