With the historic damage caused by Hurricane Ida in 2021, countless homeowners across the region are still in various stages of rebuilding and restoring their homes. Finding the right contractor or materials can feel like a daunting or overwhelming task, especially after the whirlwind of the holiday season. Luckily, the seventh annual Home & Remodeling Show with Ralph’s Market Food Fest returns to the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales this month on January 29—30.
Your one-stop shop
This two-day event has the products, services, and resources you need to finally get that home improvement project done, all under one roof. This year’s exhibition will feature new vendors, door prizes, and certain discounts only available at the show. Dozens of local and regional vendors will be showcasing building materials, from windows and cabinets to flooring and doors. An extensive lineup of professionals from the homebuilding industry, including residential contractors, interior designers, and more will be present.
There’s something for foodies, too
What could make the wall-to-wall expo even better? Ralph’s Market of Gonzales will return with an on-site food fest to appease hungry shoppers. To encourage attendees to shop local and support small businesses, Ralph’s dishes out store coupons, tasty samples including a wide variety of meats, Ralph’s famous king cakes, dips, coffee, ice cream and more. Plus, expect recipes from over thirty local vendors. In case you need any more convincing, $500 worth of groceries are set to be given away to one lucky shopper over the course of the weekend.
Want to get in for free?
Regular admission to the show is $6 (ages 12 and under get in free), but for those wanting to save all their money for the vendors, there are several ways to get in for less. Admission coupons are available online and printed in The Advocate, The Weekly Citizen, and Marketeer. Rather get in for free? Just spend $25 at either of Ralph’s two Gonzales locations before January 28 to receive two admission tickets to the show. 10am—5pm both days.
