It's a wrap folks! The 2016 Chaffee Home and Garden was a huge success even with 2 feet of snow. Steve Wyatt (Chaffee Country Fairgrounds Manager) and Susan Roser (Salida Sunrise Rotary) lock the doors after the final cleanup. A HUGE thanks goes to Steve Wyatt, who worked countless hours often starting at 5:30 in the morning making sure everything was in great shape for the vendors and the show participants. THANKS STEVE YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB!!!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
For the 5th year in a row another Successful Chaffee Home and Garden Show!
 
The Salida Sunrise Rotary Club once again presented this innovative Home and Garden Show.  The Planning Committee worked hard to bring a new and unique show that inspired folks to create and re-create the home and garden of your dreams. 
 
With more than 80 booths and FREE Cooking seminars and how-to demonstrations, attendees learned, saw, and discussed innovative gardening and home improvement ideas, products, and services. They spoke with experts from Chaffee County and the surrounding areas about the best ways to move home and garden projects forward.
 
Appraisal Corner was well received!  Look for it next year in 2018!  Bring your small items you can carry in and get them appraised for free!
