“Family Day” Returns to Lansing Home and Garden Show

 

Because for many people people the ideas of Home and Family are stuck to each other like gum in carpeting, last year the Lansing Home and Garden Show introduced its first ever Family Day, and it was a hit!  Kids, parents, and grandparents all loved the special events and activities that made this popular show even more family-friendly.  This year, Family Day is back and it’s better!

 

“The Lansing Home and Garden Show has always been a great show for the whole family,” says Show Manager Carolyn Alt.  “For years, we’ve made it a priority to have great things for kids at the Show.  But last year having Family Day on Saturday was really special, and we got tons of positive feedback from our patrons.  We’re excited to bring it back again.”

  • Free Children’s Admission until Noon on Saturday!
