Homeshow Weekend of October 17

This weekend I went to a homeshow and discovered an artist' exhibition. They had all kinds of paintings, photography and various sculptures, and quilts. One indoor hall had various companies represented in kiosks. One lady demonstrated a new group of cookware. She gave us a free salad and good information pertaining to the use of teflon cookware. She said to throw it out as well as any iron skillets since they leave poisonous residuals. The cookware that she used did not require water or oil and cooks very fast and it outlasts any other cookware. She developed good rapport with the audience by asking them questions and opinions. She passed around the meat, potatoes,yams, broccoli and carrots that cooked for less than 1/2 hour. They were great without fat.

There were people speaking about air quality in your house, how to seal under your house so mold isn't a problem. Solar heating, wall insulation, solar light vents, kitchen remodels, jewelry, pet supplies, a nonprofit for helping African children, and various food vendors. I also met people from a restore outlet store where you can donate used materials or get recycled home improvement materials.It wasn't that crowded as people were watching a ball game that day. They also had some motor homes that I didn't have time to look at.

For the last three years there have been train shows here. One man sold Thomas the Tank trains which are getting more expensive. They had two main halls which were filled with children's toys, trains, and a clown. And the large main hall was filled with about eight model train exhibits! These were new to me. There even was a computerized miniature train with 10 cars that was operated by a small phone computer! the people here were both young and old. one exhibitor sold drawings of trains. Most just exhibited various landscapes. One model railroad had an outdoor theatre which apparently worked at one time. Most others just exhibited various landscapes and sold tracks, cars, and plants.
