REALTORS HOME & GARDEN SHOW - 2018 HIGHLIGHTS
Nearly 23,000 visitors were on hand to "Rock the House" during the 94th Annual REALTORS
Home & Garden Show, presented by Unilock, held March 23 - 31, 2018 at The Wisconsin Expo Center at State Fair Park.
It's especially impressive to note that over 61% of show-goers attended courtesy of GMAR members who participated in the VIP Ticket program, made possible this year through the generous sponsorship support of A+ Mortgage Services and Milwaukee Title.
Closing one day early due to Easter Sunday, enthusiastic show-goers enjoyed viewing the many colorful hints of Spring featured in the show's signature Garden Promenade display and were inspired by the creative and elaborate water feature presented by Aquatica inside the main entrance. The nearly sold-out show also included a diverse variety of home and garden-related displays, presented by the 345 participating exhibitors.
If you missed this year's show or were not able to join us for the 2018 REALTOR
Reception hosted by A+ Mortgage Services and MMSD on Wednesday, March 28th, be sure to check out all the highlights in this 2018 Show recap video.
