Celebrating its 90th anniversary, the 10-day Indianapolis Home Show is the nation’s oldest and the Midwest’s largest home-focused extravaganza at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Since the Home Show was founded in 1922, it has become a tradition within the community, offering generation after generation the best in home products, decorating, construction and remodeling ideas. It is the largest consumer home event in Indiana, attracting crowds of homeowners primarily interested in home improvements and renovations.

And now the show is bigger and better than ever, offering those attendees primarily interested in gardens and outdoor living their own feature areas. An additional building in the South Pavilion will offer 25,000 square feet devoted to landscaping and gardening, with more than 20 lavish, landscaped feature gardens. From lovely lilies and ravishing roses to dazzling dahlias and jazzy jasmines, the gardens will offer a grandeur of greenery.

“We’re very excited to combine the Indianapolis Home Show with the Home & Flower Show,” Keller said. “With the excitement of the Super Bowl coming to Indianapolis at the beginning of February, we didn’t want residents to miss out on all the Home & Flower Show has to offer. Combining the two shows will cater to Indianapolis area residents’ continuous desire to learn, compare and shop for products and services for their homes and gardens. And the added bonus is they can visit two jam-packed shows in one location at one great price.”

The Indianapolis Home Show opens Friday, Jan. 20, and continues through Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012. Admission is $13 for adults, $3 for children ages 6 to 12 and free for children 5 and younger.

“We are so excited to be invited back to showcase at the Indianapolis Home Show. We are planning something really special this year with the home and merchandising,” said Brian Fannin, Director of Marketing for Fischer Homes. “The design elements will translate from the outside to inside the home. We believe it will be especially memorable. We hope to hear lots of ‘WOW’ as guests tour the home. We think ‘chic’ and ‘farmhouse’ will have fresh meanings after seeing this home.”

Since 1980, Fischer Homes has been building homes and delivering an exceptional customer experience in neighborhoods throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. In 2009, Fischer Homes brought a fresh new look to Indianapolis with their designs and stylized exteriors. They are now building in more than 20 locations in Carmel, Geist, Fishers, Zionsville, Westfield, Noblesville, Avon, Center Grove and Greenwood. The company doubled its sales in 2011 and forecasts 100% growth again in 2012. All Indianapolis Fischer Home buyers have indicated they would refer a friend to Fischer Homes.

“Fischer Homes brought a fresh perspective to home building at last year’s Home Show with the Centerpiece Home’s unique features and special interactive opportunities,” Keller said. “We are excited to partner with Fischer Homes again for the 2012 Indianapolis Home Show, and we look forward to what this year’s Centerpiece Home will offer to our attendees.”

“Indianapolis has welcomed Fischer Homes to the city. Our success and customer satisfaction is a public trust that we want to maintain and build upon,” said Tim McMahon, Senior Vice President of Fischer Homes Indianapolis Division. “The Home Show is a wonderful opportunity for Indianapolis to learn about the incredible offerings that Fischer Homes brings to this market.”
