Do not wait to call; the sign space goes very fast. This is on a first come basis.

Size of your sign is 18” high and 24” wide. Removable slide out panels. Your sign will be on display for thousands of consumers to see.

Due to the high increase for exhibit space the HIC will not be participating in the Buffalo Home & Garden Show this year.

This year we are offering our members a chance to advertise your company on our website banner ads.

Cost to HIC members. $275.00 for both the home show panel. And your company advertising on our banner ads until 7/1/2012.
