🌿 Thank You, Erin! 🏡

The 2026 Erin Chamber of Commerce Home & Garden Show has come to a close, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible support from our community.

From April 24–26 at the Erin Agricultural Society Fairgrounds, we welcomed over 40 local exhibitors, along with countless attendees who came out to connect, learn, and be inspired.

To our vendors — thank you for sharing your expertise, creativity, and passion for home, garden, and community projects.

To our attendees — thank you for showing up, supporting local, and making the event vibrant and engaging.

To our organizers and volunteers — your dedication behind the scenes made everything run smoothly and successfully. A huge thank you specifically to the business support organizations and non-profit community groups who participated over the weekend and provided valuable insight to attendees.

A special mention goes out to the Rotary Club of Erin who took on the important role of greeting guests along with other support throughout the weekend.

This event is a true reflection of what makes Erin special: collaboration, community spirit, and a shared commitment to supporting local businesses and initiatives.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built together and are already excited to continue growing and improving the Home & Garden Show in the years ahead. We simply couldn’t do it without each and every one of you 💚
