"The people here are such a pleasure to work with," Jody Witzky said. "And the Mount Hope Event Center is such a first class facility. They treat us great and are here to help make sure everything goes smoothly."
Witzky said the show sells out every year. A few new vendors have been added this year, bringing the total to more than 200. There are more than 100 on a waiting list, Witzky said.
"This may not be the biggest show in the state, but it is the best because of the handcrafted furniture and cabinetry we have here," Witzky said. "The quality and the craftsmanship of the stuff we have makes this a great show. That's what brings the people back in every year."

A nice kick off of the spring selling season
Nelson Yoder, owner of Yoder's Greenhouse, has been coming to the Spring Home and Garden Show since it began in 2008.
"We get a lot of exposure by being there, and it is a great kickoff to the spring season," Yoder said. "It gives our salesmen a chance to converse with some of our customers and neighbors from around the community. Plus, it's an opportunity to meet some new customers.
"It's a great show," Yoder added. "We're glad to be a part of it."
Exhibitors make the show
"Without our wonderful exhibitors, there would be no show," Witzky said."This event would not be possible without the wide variety of quality products and services displayed each year. The time and work these folks put in is greatly appreciated."
Witzky expressed his appreciation for the visitors to the event.
"The support every year continues to amaze me," Witzky said. "We strive to maintain a wide variety of quality professional products and services for every home project, whether it's a remodel or new build or a tranquil outdoor oasis. There is someone here to meet your every need."
There also are a number of health related and home products for indoor needs as well. Aultman Orrville Hospital will have staff to take blood pressure checks and answer questions.
Thanks to Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen crew for feeding everyone
Witzky added his appreciation for the Mount Hope Event Center staff for their efforts throughout the show, as well as the folks at Mrs. Yode's Kitchen.
"Trent, Michelle and the entire kitchen staff at Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen do an amazing job keeping the crowds fed," he said. "These folks are awesome.
"The way they have it set up, it's a perfect family event," Witzky said. "People can come in and spend the whole day here and have dinner here and see hundreds of people."
