specialized health equipment, orthotics, food supplements
and an extensive variety of products devoted to our patrons'
good health are also part of our wellness section.
History:
For more than 25 years, Ridge Meadows Home Show has
been a source of pride for local residents. Starting as a small
event that showcased the wares of local merchants, the
event has grown to become one of the province's largest,
and best-attended shows.
A consistent sellout, the show today proudly hosts more than
250 exhibitor booths, representing some of the most
respected firms from throughout BC and the Lower Mainland.
Run by volunteer community groups for a number of years, the
show was restructured in 1995 when a group of local business
people formed the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Home
Show Society.
Under the society's stewardship, the show has grown steadily,
attracting a diverse audience from throughout the Lower
Mainland.
Partner Events:
Contributing to our success and broadening our appeal are
several partner events which run simultaneously with the
home show, in separate venues. Among these events
are McDonald's Funzone Children's Festival---a magical place
of adventure and creativity for kids, as well as a restaurant
showcase, The Times' Taste of Ridge Meadows. Other
features include the Body, Mind and Soul Psychic Fair and
West Coast Amusements.
