 Important Vendor Information
Why exhibit?
As the real estate market continues to be challenged,
Nevada County residents will continue to stay in
their homes longer. With 74% of Nevada County
residents owning homes and the average household
income in the county at approximately $90,000
(Nevada County Economic Resource Council,
California Department of Finance), baby-boomers
are becoming nesters and home remodeling is
flourishing and is expected to see continual growth
in the upcoming years. Money will be spent on
kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, expanded living
spaces, exteriors and landscaping to improve the
current condition and value of their property. Take
the guesswork out of where to effectively spend your
advertising and marketing dollars by exhibiting at
The Union’s 8th Annual Home & Harvest Festival.

“The home show gave us a chance
to connect with potential clients on
a personal level and receive helpful
feedback that we normally wouldn’t
get on such a large scale. Also, the
home show fees were recovered
on our first job generated from the
show. It was our best way to stretch
our advertising dollar.”
