KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Another sign of spring in the Kalamazoo area has arrived. It's time for the Home Expo. It will be easy to find they have erected a big wind turbine outside. The Homebuilder's Association of Greater Kalamazoo is trying something a little different this year by locating the expo in Portage. Executive Vice President Dale Shugars says this year's event will be even bigger than last year's.

They'll have over 25 seminars on a range of subjects and they'll have a visit from the "Wall Wizard," Brian Santos. The expo is set to run from March 17th to the 20th and will be located in the former Sam's Club building behind Crossroads Mall on Mall Drive.

Tickets are $10 at the door, $8 in advance at Hardings on South Westnedge, West Main and Center, Woods and Homes in Galesburg, Kalamazoo Gazette and the Kalamazoo Home Builders Association offices.
