Howard County Beer Week is brought to you by the fine establishments that provide you with the great craft beer that you love. Each day will highlight a Featured Event from two of our local sponsors. As always, please enjoy responsibly.
Suburban Maryland Spring Home Show (Howard County Fairgrounds)
Find Experts, Inspiration & More -
At the Home Show, our goal is simple: to inspire, motivate and excite you for your upcoming home improvement - whether it's a minor renovation or a major remodel.
We want to set your imagination free, inspired by expert advice from our home improvement professionals, national celebrities and local specialists. After attending our seminars and demos, we know you'll be motivated to start planning with confidence. Most importantly, we want you to be excited, not only for the possibilities that come with your home improvement project, but for the final outcome. When it's all said and done and you're ready to celebrate your new addition, we'll do a little celebrating ourselves, knowing we had some part in it.
