Home Expo helps buyers support local businesses
DES MOINES, Iowa — The Home Expo comes to Des Moines a few times a year and it helps connect buyers with builders, keeping profits local. Thousands of people showed up for the three-day event which showcases the latest trends in home security, remodeling, power, and home automation. Jamie Slayton, show manager for Home Improvement, says the show may be national, but it's all about supporting local. DSM Arts and Crafts show wraps up, thousands attend 'Money stays in Des Moines. These are local vendors,' said Slayton. 'We do have some, you know, national vendors, but there's a lot of local vendors in here.' Slayton says the spring show gets a lot of traffic from people who are looking to start the new year with some new upgrades to the home. 'You're coming out of your cold time and we're coming into the spring, and that's when we start looking to do home improvements, landscaping, yard,' said Slayton. 'We've got a lot of things in here, you know, outside light roofing tubs, all kinds of stuff.' The spring expo has wrapped up, but the Iowa Home Expo is set to return to Des Moines October 10th – 12th, 2025. Learn more about the upcoming showcase on their website.
