Quad Cities Home Show Returns to Bend XPO This February

The Quad Cities Builders & Remodelers Association (QCBR) is back with its 49th Annual Home Show, running from February 13 through February 15.

The event will transform the Bend XPO in East Moline into a massive hub for home improvement, featuring 110 unique vendors and 226 booths. Whether you are planning a full-scale renovation or just looking for the latest paint colors, this long-standing tradition offers a one-stop shop for inspiration.

What to Expect: Trends and Trade Secrets

The show covers every corner of the home, from the foundation to the roof. Attendees can explore the newest innovations in appliances, flooring, and windows, as well as outdoor upgrades like decking and landscaping.

For those looking for expert advice, the Builder Room provides a rare opportunity to "Meet the Best Builders in the Quad-Cities." This allows guests to speak directly with professionals about custom projects and room additions.

Family Fun and Community Support

The Home Show isn’t just for adults. This year’s event features several attractions designed to keep the whole family engaged:

For Kids: A scavenger hunt and a hands-on workshop hosted by Home Depot.

For Racing Fans: A real NASCAR vehicle will be on display, courtesy of Forever Lawns.

For Charity: Local high school students have built custom items that will be up for bid. All proceeds from these auctions go directly toward supporting Student Trades Programs.

Additionally, fans of the "Dwyer & Michaels" radio show can catch a live broadcast on Saturday, February 14, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
