The 2003 Home Show
: It's that time of year again... the Home Show. What's new this year and what will we see at the Show?

Home Show 2003 is the 49th show for WABA, and will feature over 250 different booths representing a wide variety of interior and exterior home products and services. Once again a "sell out" event, exhibits will represent home products and services for virtually every aspect of a home, from floors to ceilings, interiors and exteriors including outdoor living, decorating and improving, constructing and remodeling and more.The Home Show is an excellent one-stop-shop for a lot of different companies that are in the business of home products and services. Exhibitors will showcase their newest products during the Show. Consumers attending the Show can compare products and conduct research right at the Show without feeling pressured.The primary objective of the Wichita Area Builders Association is to work toward providing quality, affordable housing and homeownership for the greatest number of people possible.
