This event, sponsored by The Messenger, The Daily Freeman-Journal, and Sears Hometown Store, will have delicious food, great prizes, vendors, and speakers to help show goers get out and get ready to tackle any project they like.

“Knowing people are anxious to get out after two years of the pandemic, and with spring around the corner, this weekend’s show will be a nice break for people,” said The Messenger and The Daily Freeman-Journal Publisher Terry Christensen.

Clayton’s Ribs and Chicken will be serving up food each day and Fort Dodge Ford Lincoln Toyota will be holding a pancake breakfast Saturday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. The first 200 people to the pancake breakfast eat free.
