- Thursday, Feb. 9 through Sunday, Feb. 9 The 50th annual Milwaukee/NARI Home Improvement Show will be held at the Wisconsin Exposition Center at State Fair Park in West Allis. The Show’s Outdoor Living Area will feature a Northwood’s theme, with landscaping, hardscaping, and water features surrounding a log cabin from Cabintek. A similar log cabin kit will be the grand prize in the Milwaukee/NARI Foundation raffle. Attendees will have an opportunity to serve as judges of an Interior Design Contest sponsored by Benjamin Moore Paints and Pekel Construction & Remodeling, which will pit students from four area colleges, each designing and creating a 12′ x 12′ dining room in a specific design style. The participating schools will each receive $1,000 for the school’s interior design program. In honor of Milwaukee/NARI’s 50th anniversary, a historical display will be in the Information Center, allowing Show attendees to take a trip back in time to see how Milwaukee/NARI has grown into the largest chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. More than 700 booth spaces covering the entire exposition center will feature providers of thousands of home improvement products and services, including kitchens, decks, cabinets, windows, bathrooms, siding, lighting, landscaping, media rooms, wall covering, rec rooms, roofing, fireplaces, and more. The show will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Cost to attend is $6 in advance and $8 at the door.
