Make dreams come true at the 21st annual High Desert Home, Recreation & Lifestyle Show

Are you wanting to make your home that dream vacation destination? Are you concerned about all of the gasoline it takes to run across town or "down the hill" to all of the various businesses that can help make those dreams come true?

The 21st annual Home, Recreation & Lifestyle Show brings a vast array of vendors together -- all in one place -- for a one-stop home- and lifestyle-improvement shopping extravaganza.

Because of the community's interest and support, and its recognition of value, this year's show -- Nov. 11-13 -- promises to be even bigger and better, with scores of vendors participating, most from the Victor Valley area.

Duane Bygum, president of Comfort Systems and producer of the show said that they strive to add new products and services, which help keep the show new and interesting.

Bygum recommends doing an overview of the show the first day, go home and think about everything you saw, then go back a second day and focus on the vendors that sparked your interest. With discount coupons offered in the Daily Press -- and a general admission price of only $5 (free for children 12 years old and under) -- a couple of visits to the show can help with the decision-making process, all at a very reasonable price.

What types of home improvement vendors will you find at the Home, Recreation & Lifestyle Show? You will find information on literally everything for your home and lifestyle, from buying or building a new home to remodeling an existing home, from savings and investing to fitness equipment, from pools and spas to energy-saving products, and much more.

Get ideas for creating a beautiful backyard oasis by visiting the vendors featuring pools, spas, ponds, garden designs, landscapers and nurseries. In addition, visit the complementary services such as pool and landscape maintenance companies.

Are you looking for more of an indoor oasis? The addition of a garden room or patio enclosure can truly be paradise at home.

Are you looking for ways to modernize your home to be high tech or energy efficient? Check out those companies offering home-networking systems, retrofit windows, heating and cooling systems, wind and solar energy products and services, roofing materials, and more.

Do you want to get into shape? You will find information about fitness centers as well as in-home fitness equipment.

Whatever your wants or needs for making your home or garden your vacation destination, chances are you'll find it at this year's Home, Recreation & Lifestyle Show.
