The 17th Annual Home, Garden & Leisure Show, to be held at the new Galveston Island Convention Center at the San Luis on February 26 and 27, has attracted about 150 exhibitors, according to publicist Mary Jo Naschke. "It
promises to be one of the biggest trade shows to be held on the Island
this year," Naschke said. "Experiencing an unprecedented
building boom, with more than $1.8 billion of construction now in
process, and more to come, developers, contractors and service
professionals will be exhibiting at the event. From new
construction, to Victorian renovations, single family dwellings to
high-rise residential, there will be representatives to help to buy it,
build it or fix it." As in past years, exhibits will include swimming pool and landscaping companies, as well as demonstrations of the latest in air conditioning, and bath and kitchen displays, in the home and garden section; and new this year, there will be a leisure component that includes travel opportunities and outdoor activities such as motorcycles and jet skis. There also will be a putting green for golf enthusiasts. David
Yates, host of Home Improvement Hotline on KTRH AM, will be broadcasting
live from the show each day. The
