Home & Garden Show Set For March at the Douglas County Fairgrounds

The Umpqua Valley Home Builders Association will be having their 2022 Home and Garden Show at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on March 4th, 5th and 6th. One new event this year will be the "Building the Future Build Off Challenge" between four local area high schools. Glide, Sutherlin, Days Creek and Phoenix Charter School are competing by building chicken coops in their respective wood shop classes. Umpqua Valley Home Builders Association executive officer Dana Lepre highlighted the collaboration between local builders and students the event is helping to facilitate. "This is a competitive event that will help local builders be hands-on with high school students. The chicken coops will be on display at the home show, and will be auctioned off at the event." Lepre said. Dates and hours are as follows: Friday, March 4th, from 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 5th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 6th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Umpqua Valley Home Builders Association can be found on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/UVHBA UVHB website: https://www.umpquavalleyhba.org/
