Container Creation

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. From functional to fantastic, these shipping containers turned recycled rooms inspired  us to think about our space. These rooms created by Recon Recycled Shipping Containers are more than an eco-friendly space, they are recycled luxury.

Harrisburg’s Homegrown Market

This unique shopping opportunity was the place for one-of-a-kind home décor and gifts. This open market-style area featured local artisans and retailers. Visitors could shop antiques, homemade, finely-crafted items and original art.

Pop-Up Flower Market

Guests were able to shop a local area favorite in our pop-up floral market by Hydrangea Haus and take home beautiful, fresh-cut floral bouquets and arrangements made while they shopped. Hydrangea Haus also had gift items and home décor available for purchase!

 

The Barking Lot + Doggy Fashion Show

Come. Stay. Shop for a good cause. Of course our visitors didn't forget their dogs and cats while shopping at the show - you couldn't go home to your furry friend without a new toy, treat, or accessory! So they stopped by The Barking Lot, our pet market, to spoil their four-legged family member and support the Canine Rescue of Central, PA. All vendors donated a portion of proceeds back to the Canine Rescue of Central PA to support their mission to protect and improve the quality of life of homeless animals.

We also had a doggy fashion show on Saturday!

Home is where the wine is. Attendees were sure to stop by Juniata Valley Winery in the garden area to sample wines from this local winery and pick up a few bottles to take home.

The more you know, the more you'll grow! Guests could stop by this feature area and learn from the experts, including the Penn State Extension of the Master Gardeners, the PA Hardwoods Development Council , the Governor's Invasive Species Council, and other horticultural groups. We brought the experts to show all the ropes and teach the tips and tricks - whether you just bought your gardening gloves or your motto is already "garden more, work less".

Tech Career Day

We teamed up with two local technical schools to showcase the career opportunities and partnerships available in the construction trades.
