Fall Dispatch Home & Garden Show - UPDATE
Thank you for being a loyal supporter and participant in the Dispatch Home & Garden Shows, and other events that we produce. Here is an update on the 2020 Fall Dispatch Home & Garden Show, scheduled for September 11-13 at the Ohio Expo Center in the Bricker Building.
At this time we are planning to host the event and will follow the safety guidelines that are issued for such events. Oktoberfest is also planning to happen that same weekend.
As the economy reopens and all of us learn more about how to remain safe while we go about our lives, we will continue to evaluate the situation. Based on the best information available on July 11 – 60 days before the fall show – we will update you about any adjustments to our plan, including required safety practices for move in, controlling guest counts per hour, and other safety measures that will be required. At that time, if the best course of action is to postpone or cancel the event, we will inform you.
We do know that during the stay safe period, with so many people stuck in their homes, home improvement projects have become more glaring to homeowners – so we believe people are ready to act on their home improvement project list. This is good for all of us. We also know that many of your businesses have continued to operate safely as essential businesses during the Ohio stay safe period.
As a company, the Dispatch will not take safety of you or our guests for granted. If we determine that we can operate the Fall Dispatch Home & Garden Show safely, by following the guidelines, we will do so. If we cannot, we will postpone or cancel the event. Also rest assured that your investment in the show is entirely safe with the Dispatch, too. If the event does not happen your investment can be redirected within the company, or refunded.
For those of you that participate in other shows, we have converted our High School recognition programs in May and June to virtual events, rescheduled Young at Heart Senior Expo to October 1st at Villa Milano, and will reschedule the August Wedding Boutique show to later in the year.
