Santa Clarita residents and businesses alike are gearing up for next month’s 6th annual KHTS Home and Garden Show and Emergency Expo at the Valencia Hyatt on Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26.

The free two-day show is KHTS AM-1220’s largest home and garden show to date, with more than 300 exhibitors, the debut of Santa Clarita’s first KHTS Home Based Business Symposium and the addition of a variety of new family-friendly attractions.

“Our 6th annual KHTS Home and Garden Show and Emergency Expo is the perfect setting to discover the latest home improvement and decorating trends from top Santa Clarita professionals,” said KHTS AM-1220 co-owner Carl Goldman. “This year’s show is bigger than ever.”

In addition to hundreds of local home and garden specialists, other new features of the show include a quilt exhibit, Indianapolis race cars and a Mini Car Rally on Sunday.

Throughout the weekend, attendees can get advice and guidance from home and garden experts on a variety of topics, including design, decorating, maintenance, solar energy, pool and backyard design, home improvements and much more.

Attendees can enjoy landscape displays, cooking demonstrations, crafts, artwork by local artists and even take home a kitten or puppy from an animal rescue organization. Families with children can stop by a special kids area, which will feature flower pot painting, a toddler race track and race cars on display.

Saturday’s Emergency Expo is designed to help residents prepare themselves and their families for an emergency in a fun, family-friendly setting.

Sponsored by American Medical Response and Facey Medical Group, the Emergency Expo will feature displays, presentations and drills from Santa Clarita emergency response teams, as well as exhibitor booths centered around emergency preparedness, response and recovery.

“The day is going to come when we have another disaster,” Goldman said. “The more prepared we are for a disaster, the better we’re going to be in dealing with it and also with our recovery.”

Attendees can also climb aboard a fire truck, sit in a sheriff patrol car, meet Search and Rescue animals, watch a demonstration of the “jaws of life” by the Los Angeles County Fire Department and experience the “Shakey Quakey House.”

At Sunday’s first ever Home Based Business Symposium, attendees can learn a variety of ways to legitimately make money from home by meeting up to 26 local entrepreneurs– without the sales pitch or any pressure.

“Direct sales is really referred to nowadays as the new economy, and not a lot of people are really familiar with what that means,” said Wendy Hassenpflug, who represents Isagenix in Santa Clarita. “Hearing it firsthand by people that are a part of your own community helps people better understand and build a stronger knowledge of what direct sales companies are all about.”

KHTS AM-1220 has been producing free Santa Clarita home and garden shows for six years, and expos are owned and produced by KHTS.

This year’s KHTS Home and Garden Show is set for Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information can be found at www.scvhomeandgardenshow.com and  www.hometownstation.com, or by calling the radio station at 661-298-1220.
