FEC packed for two-day event

March 9, 2023 — An estimated 2,500 attendees packed the Florence Events Center last weekend for the two-day 2023 Florence Home and Garden Show.

The event, presented by KCST, KCFM and the Siuslaw News, featured good and services from companies all over western Oregon.

For Joe Leasure, owner of Junction City’s Premier Roofing Services, the event was most definitively a success.

“I’ve had a lot of people come through with some great questions about their roofing needs,” he said. “Most importantly I’ve gotten a lot of serious inquiries… not a lot of ‘tire kickers.”

This was the first time setting up a booth at the Florence Home and Garden Show for Keystone Landscape and Design of Eugene. Previously they’ve set up at larger, similar, events like the Lane Home and Garden Show held at the much larger Lane Events Center in Eugene. They enjoyed the more intimate atmosphere provided in Florence.
