The Maricopa County Home & Garden Show, the largest home show in the Southwest, returns to the Arizona State Fairgrounds this month.
From Friday, Jan. 12 through Sunday, Jan. 14, discover what makes Arizona special with over 1,000 vendor booths showcasing products and offering services on home improvement, interior design, outdoor living, landscaping and more.
Accompanying this shopping experience is the opportunity to enjoy food and beverage samples at the Taste of the Desert and engage in crafting workshops at the Handmade Headquarters.
