Upper Cumberland Home & Garden Show in Cookeville March 1-3
COOKEVILLE, TN – Find inspiration to transform your home for Spring at the
Upper Cumberland Home & Garden Show, March 1-3 at the Hyder Burks
Pavilion in Cookeville. See the latest trends for home building, remodeling,
decorating, and landscaping with exhibits featuring products and services from
the Upper Cumberland and beyond.
If you are shopping for cabinets, furniture, accessories, lawn mowers, lighting,
doors, plants, appliances, or even a complete new home, you will find a wide
selection at this event. For almost 50 years, the Home Builders Association of
the Upper Cumberland has sponsored the Home & Garden Show, bringing the
best values together under one roof. With spring on the way, this is the perfect
time to get a jumpstart on projects that will enhance your home, garden and
outdoor living spaces.
New this year is the “Painting Patch” where you can paint your own flower pot,
plant ID marker, bird house, or other exciting art projects. Materials and easy
instructions will be provided by The Art Jam.
The Cooking Stage is a popular attraction in the “Gourmet Gallery” of the show,
where local and regional celebrities will demonstrate recipes and share tips for
entertaining and healthy living. Presenters include restaurant chefs, Cookbook
authors, Food Truck owners, caterers, and more. In addition to the Cooking
Stage, the Gourmet Gallery features exhibits of cabinetry, cookware, candles,
specialty foods, and other items for the “Heart of the Home.”
If you want to start growing plants for the upcoming season, you can learn to
build a quick, easy and low-cost portable cold frame at the DIY workshop Sunday
afternoon, March 3 at 1:00 at the event. Utilizing the heat from the sun in a tiny
“greenhouse” built from an old window, you can start plants earlier and extend
the season in the fall. Serina Wells of Wells Built Home will walk you through the
process.
In the Barn Sale area, you will see great home decor from shabby chic to
treasured antiques. Find that perfect piece to accent your home. Talk to vendors
who have selected their best wares for you! There is something for everyone in
all price points.
Another highlight of the show will be the Upper Cumberland Tourism “Stay and
Play” Travel Expo with great ideas for vacations or day trips that are within a
short drive from home. Information on the Upper Cumberland’s cultural, historic
and scenic attractions, as well as its outdoor recreational opportunities and
lodging options will be available in the Travel Expo area of the show.
Admission is only $5.00, with an Opening Night Special “Two-for-1” price on
Friday night, March 1. Event hours are Friday 4-8 PM, Saturday 9 AM – 6 PM,
and Sunday Noon – 4 PM. Sunday will be “Deal Day,” when several exhibitors
