At the Home & Garden Idea Fair
What You’ll Find at the Fair
There’s something for all ages, rain or shine!
What to Know Before You Go
Food is available
A variety of concessions will be available to purchase, including sandwiches, hamburgers, popcorn, and ice cream.
Limited wheelchairs available
If you have your own wheelchair, we recommend that you bring it, since only a limited number of wheelchairs will be available to borrow at the entrance gates. You’ll need to leave your driver’s license with a volunteer until you have returned the wheelchair.
Plan for purchases
A plant holding area is available near the plant building, and package holding is available in the Exhibition Hall. But it’s a good idea to bring a large bag, backpack, wagon or stroller, or to save most of your buying until the end of your day at the fair. Cash machines are available.
What to wear
Bring a jacket or dress in layers. The Exhibition Hall is heated, but there are plenty of other outdoor features you’ll want to check out.
Leave your pets at home
For safety reasons, no pets except identified service dogs are allowed on the fairgrounds. This policy will be enforced at the entry gate, so please leave your pets at home.
Recycle old bulbs for free
Clark Public Utilities will offer free CFL recycling at the Home & Garden Idea Fair. Collection containers will be located at all fair entrance gates. While supplies last, Clark Public Utilities will give you a voucher to receive two new LED bulbs if you bring in a burned out CFL to recycle. You can redeem vouchers at the Clark Public Utilities display inside the Exhibition Hall.

Employee Spotlight
Every year hundreds of Clark Public Utilities employees volunteer at the Home & Garden Idea Fair. What started as a way to help utility customers make their homes more energy efficient has evolved into a full-scale home and garden show, and an annual tradition.
Our Way of Saying Thank You
Clark Public Utilities is a nonprofit, customer-owned utility formed by a vote of the people in 1938. Because we are a public utility, our customers are at the heart of all we do, every day. The Home & Garden Idea Fair is just one way that we give back to our customers, and an annual tradition.
