BOARDMAN Sometimes, less can be a lot more.
“I’ve had no complaints from vendors, no complaints from people coming in,” Karen Caruso, the Home Builders Association’s executive officer, said Saturday. “It just gives you a bright outlook.”
Caruso was referring to the restrictions and modifications, because of the pandemic, to the 70th annual HBA Home and Garden Show at Mr. Anthony’s Banquet Center, 7440 South Ave., which began Friday and continues 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today.
This year’s event has about 55 local and regional vendors, down from the usual 85 to 90, as well as wider aisles to keep attendees safer. Organizers also are strictly following Ohio Department of Health guidelines by requiring people to wear masks, social distance and adhere to one-way foot traffic patterns, she explained.
