About The Show

AROUND THE SITE
What you’ll find….
where you’ll find it.

 

JUST OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR:

 

READY TO EXPLORE- GA CHECKPOINT

Are you ready to hit the trails this year? GA Checkpoint has you covered; their showcase will feature ATVs, Motorcycles and boats. They will be located just outside the main entrance to Planet Ice.

 

YOUR RENO HIDEAWAY AWAITS YOU- DMC CONTRACTING

Suppose you’ve ever stayed in residence during a renovation. In that case, you’ll remember the joys of living in drywall dust, tripping over tools and cords, maneuvering around boxes of tiles, and cooking dinner for the kids in a kitchen without a sink or countertop. Enter DMC Contracting with a brilliant idea. Provide homeowners with a fully outfitted Fifth Wheel RV that comes with everything. The unit rolls into your driveway the night before the crew arrives and provides a safe refuge with laundry, television—-everything you need to carry on with life. You can check the unit out just before the main entrance to this year’s Ridge Meadows Home Show, then talk to DMC in Building A booths 19 & 20.

 

HANGING BASKET SALE

A home Show tradition…located at the front door of the show. Beautiful hanging baskets just in time for Mother’s Day. Various colours and lush blooms are ready for your patio or planter box. Staged by Bradley’s One Stop Landscape and Renovation Centre in Albion. A portion of proceeds to Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Children’s Festival Society.

IN THE BUILDINGS:

 

CURLING RINK LOBBY:

SAMPLING AREA

Ridge Meadows Home Show gets a flavorful start with its tempting sampling area—always a favourite with showgoers. This year the space will feature many new and exciting products. A great line-up of vendors offering “tastes” and ensuring visitors keep their strength up as they navigate these buildings filled with ideas, innovations and products. 

 

BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT PSYCHIC FAIR

A quick detour will take you upstairs in the curling rink to the Body, Mind and Spirit Psychic Fair. Get tuned into your inner life at this illuminating event that spans the gamut of esoteric pursuits like mediumship and meditation. Experience and learn about metaphysical modalities and check-in for messages from loved ones no longer on this plane. With an open mind and a searching heart, you’ll be on the path to discovering new things about yourself—perhaps even your psychic ability.

 

CURLING RINK BUILDING A

Renovating, building, landscaping and more!

If it’s the great outdoors, you want to spruce up, or if you’re dreaming about adding a new deck, Building A is where you’ll find everything you need. If you’re ready to tackle that big home project, stop by Building A to see all the traditional building elements like roofing, siding, solariums, landscaping, decking, and installation experts. 

 

PLANET ICE BUILDING C

Decorating, home theatre, appliances and more…

Ready for a decor facelift? Time to face the fact that you’re swimming in clutter? You’ll want to check out Building C, where you’ll find the cream of the crop in design professionals. Building C also features flooring, furnishings, window fashions, home renovators, hot tubs, paint and wall coverings, décor items, kitchens, appliances, electronics, woodwork and design items, including artwork.

Wellness, Housewares, Marketplace

If you love those unique gadgets and one-of-a-kind items, shop the marketplace. Then prowl the colourful ‘girl stuff’ section where you’ll find jewelry, cosmetics, cookware, linens and even the most popular anti-aging product. You’ll also find a wide range of exhibitors dedicated to your beauty, health and fitness in the Building C wellness section.

GOLDEN MEADOWS HOMEY FARM- Home of West Coast Bee Supply

Can you hear that buzzing in your ears? You probably don’t need to swing by the Hear Canada booth at the Home Show; maybe you still do.

Find out what it takes to make that sweet treat we all love.

 

BLUE CRANE CONTORTION & ACROBATICS

Is it an art or a sport? Hours of practice and strength training are the basis

of the extreme flexibility that unfolds the grace, precision and beauty that allows contortionists to bend their bodies into impossibly complex positions. Watch as these incredibly talented individuals achieve new heights from their aerial crane. Be sure to get there early; shows on Saturday and Sunday of the Family Festival.
