2012 Home Builders Home Show

2012 Southwestern Illinois Home Builders Home Show

Southwestern Illinois Home Builders Show

Today is a great day to venture out to see the displays and meet local builders and businesses at the Greater Southwestern Illinois Home Builders Association Home Show at the Belleville, Illinois Fairgrounds.

You'll get fresh ideas (and motivation) to start that remodelling, restoring, or creating project you've been thinking about all winter. If you're thinking of re-doing the landscaping of years past, great ideas abound there. More than 100 local companies are there to showcase their work and services. It's a family affair and parking is free.

Admission is $6.oo for adults, free for children under 12. Exhibition Saturday is until 8:00 PM. Sunday hours are from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM.

The Belle Clair Fairgrounds Park is at 200 South Belt East, Belleville, Illinois.

Happy Halloween From O'Fallon, Illinois

Happy Halloween From O'Fallon, Illinois!

Happy Halloween 2011 - YolandaRealtor.com

It's Trick or Treat Time in O'Fallon, Illinois, October 31 from 6:00 - 9:00 PM tonight.

In addition, the City of O'Fallon Police, Fire & Medical Service Departments have provided two Halloween Safe Stops tonight:

Firehouse #1 on 106 East Washington from 6:00 - 8:30 PM and

Central School on 309 Hartman Lane from 5:00 - 8:00 PM.

Personally, we look forward to the kids knocking on our door for their candies, (while their parents are hiding behind bushes) every year. Since we moved to this new neighborhood two years ago, we've had more kids drop by and we're just happy to oblige. I hope we get a lot of them tonight. Happy Halloween!
