York Home & Garden Show: A Locally Run, High-Impact Event
For many YBA members, exhibiting at the York Home & Garden Show is a major business boost. Tim & Melinda Brinton highlight how well-organized and well-attended the show is compared to others they’ve participated in.
“We exhibit at a lot of home shows, and this is one of our favorites. The fact that it’s locally run, rather than by a big national company, makes a huge difference. YBA puts a lot of effort into organizing it and taking care of exhibitors. The attendance is great, and we get a lot of business from this show!” – Tim & Melinda Brinton, Mountain Top Lighting
