Gorham's to host home fair on Saturday

THURSDAY, JUNE 23: Shoppers eager to revitalize their homes will be able to find a wealth of resources at Gorham’s Annual Home Remodelling Fair on Saturday, June 25.

The event, now in its third year, promises to be bigger and better than ever with more vendors joining local contractors to showcase their products.

Event organizer Rod Farrington said: “People interested in doing work on their home should really make an effort to come to the store tomorrow. We are probably going to have about two dozen contractors representing different trades on hand for people to talk to along with several vendors.

“We are setting aside the whole centre area of the store and each participant will have a table set up where shoppers can see photos of their work and discuss ideas and plans that they have for their homes. While the list of contractors is still being finalized, we hope to have electricians, plumbers, painters, closer designers and general contractors on hand.

“This year we will also have power tool and hand tool suppliers on hand alongside a building materials expert and a paint expert.

“The contractors are already featured on our website bermudacontractors.com so shoppers can go online and have a peek at what they have to offer beforehand if they wish.”

The fair runs from 10 am until 2 pm at Gorham’s on St. John’s Road in Pembroke and this year’s event will also offer product demonstrations and specials to take advantage of.

Mr. Farrington said: “The feedback from contractors has been that previous fairs have generated multiple leads for them. Our vendors wanted to take advantage of this and use the event as an opportunity to showcase new products in the marketplace.”
