Northern California Home & Landscape Expo returns

WELCOME BACK. WELL, HAPPENING TODAY. IT’S DAY ONE OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HOME AND LANDSCAPE EXPO TAKING OVER CAL EXPO THIS WEEKEND. SO THEY’VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT NEED FOR WORK IN AND AROUND YOUR HOME. LET’S GET A GET TO KCRA 3’S ERIN HEFT LIVE AT CAL EXPO. SO ERIN, HOW’S THE START OF THE DAY LOOKING SO FAR? YOU GUYS? THE AMOUNT OF BOOTHS OUT HERE BLOWS MY MIND EVERY SINGLE YEAR. MAKES ME JEALOUS BECAUSE I WANT TO DO A LITTLE SOMETHING FROM EVERY BOOTH TO THE HOUSE. CAN’T DO THAT. BUT THERE’S 800 DIFFERENT EXHIBITS, 400 PLUS VENDORS. THERE’S A LOT. LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF, YOU CAN PROBABLY FIND RIGHT HERE. CELEBRATING 31 YEARS. AND MICHAEL GLASSMAN, YOU’RE ONE OF THE LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS OUT HERE. YOU’VE BEEN OUT HERE FOR 25 YEARS. 25 YEARS. YOU’VE SEEN IT GROW OVER THE YEARS. OH, I HAVE, AND IT GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER AND MORE INTERESTING PRODUCTS. AND I’VE BEEN IN BUSINESS 44 YEARS, AND I STILL COME TO THE SHOW BECAUSE YOU CAN DRIVE AROUND SACRAMENTO ALL YOU WANT, AND MAYBE YOU’LL SEE NEW PRODUCTS, BUT YOU CAN GO TO ONE SHOW. AND AS I SAID, THERE’S ABOUT 800 EXHIBITS HERE. AND I FIND PAVING AND PROBLEM SOLVING. AND THEN THERE’S SEMINARS. I MEAN, I’M DOING A SEMINAR THIS AFTERNOON ON ART IN THE GARDEN, SOLVING PROBLEMS IN THE LANDSCAPING NEXT THIS SATURDAY WITH JAMIE SANTOS FROM DIG PLANT WATER AND REPEAT. IT’S SUCH AN INSPIRING PLACE TO WALK AROUND. AND IF YOU’RE DOING THE INSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE, DOORS AND WINDOWS AND SHADES AND APPLIANCES, THAT’S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PLACE, BECAUSE YOU CAN WALK AROUND AND GET JUST INSPIRED. AND LAST QUESTION FOR ME IS THAT THIS IS KIND OF AN INTERESTING POINT IN THE YEAR TO DO THIS, BECAUSE IT’S REALLY NOT WARM OUTSIDE, BUT IT’S PARTICIPATING IN AND, YOU KNOW, SOME FORETHOUGHT BEFORE THE SPRING. EXACTLY. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, WELL, I’M GOING TO WAIT TILL IT WARMS UP OR I’M GOING TO WAIT TO DO MY PROJECT IN THE SPRING. BUT BY THAT TIME, A LOT OF THE CONTRACTORS ARE BUSY. SO YOU DO YOUR PLANNING. NOW YOU DO YOUR PLANNING IN YOUR LANDSCAPE PLANNING AND EVERYTHING NOW. AND SO WHEN YOU’RE READY, YOU’RE EITHER IN CONSTRUCTION IN THE SPRINGTIME, OR YOU’RE ALREADY DONE AND YOU’RE ENJOYING YOURSELF. I KNOW THAT’S THE BEST PART. MICHAEL, IT’S ALWAYS A PLEASURE. CONGRATULATIONS ON 40 PLUS YEARS. THANK YOU. GREAT EXPO. IT STARTS TODAY, RUNS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AND THEN HERE IN THE NEXT HOUR, I GET TO INTRODUCE YOU TO TWO ADORABLE GOLDEN RETRIEVERS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. WE’LL MEET YOU THERE. BU
