PARKERSBURG - There is always something new available for people looking to do home improvements, according to the organizer of the Great American Home Show which was held in Parkersburg over the weekend.
The home show, which was held at the former Big Bear building in the Park Shopping Center, saw good crowds Friday through Sunday as people were getting out to see the latest trends in home improvement, getting ideas for things they can do and making contact with local companies who can do the work.
"The show has been going good," said John Farnsworth, executive officer of the Home Builders Association of the Mid-Ohio Valley, which organizes the annual show. "Attendance is down a little bit from last year, but we have had decent attendance.

"Every vendor I have talked with, they are happy with what they have received. That makes me happy. The vendors are the backbone of this show."
The Great American Home Show has been an annual event in the area for many years and remains popular with local residents.
The show had around 70 vendors and 20 crafters featuring builders, remodelers, landscapers, heating-and-cooling experts, kitchen-and-bath specialists, flooring specialists, carpet services, energy-efficient windows and doors, foundation repair, home security, home design, insulation products, satellite television, lawn and garden equipment and more.
"People are looking at everything," Farnsworth said. ''There are a lot of new products out there.
"I have been doing this show for a number of years. I go around and look at what everyone has and it is changing every year."

Feng Shui, the traditional Chinese study of geomantic omens usually for buildings or cemeteries, is producing exorbitant profits for fake fortune-tellers during the lunar new year celebrations.
In Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, fortune-tellers are trying to tempt customers into their Feng Shui shops, which sell hundreds of charm bracelets, jade necklaces, Buddha statues and mascots of Qilin, or Chinese unicorns.
They claim that the lucky charms, which can cost more than 100,000 yuan (16,500 U.S. dollars), have been blessed by eminent monks and "will bring good luck" during the year of the horse, which comes seventh in the 12-animal rotation used by the Chinese to represent the year.
"Experts" in the Feng Shui shops also provide fortune-telling, saying that they can help customers pursue good fortune and avoid bad luck -- at a cost.
Zhang Yu, who lives in Nanning, went to a "free" fortune-telling session in a shop and was told she was going to have a bumpy 2014. Only the blessed jade stones in the shop could help.
"But the cheapest jade stone cost a staggering 1,980 yuan, which is ridiculous," Zhang sneered.
Feng Shui, literally meaning "wind and water", has been widely practiced in China for thousands of years, but it has been denigrated as superstition rather than recognized as a cultural phenomenon.
Feng Shui practitioners were usually consulted before the construction or renovation of a building.
Though the government has never banned the practice officially, Feng Shui is defined in Chinese dictionaries as "superstitious beliefs in ancient China".
But Feng Shui is attracting people into shops.
