Good start for first Home Expo ...

Last weekend, nearly 30 exhibitors from many spectrums of the home building community gathered at the Laredo Entertainment Center for the City of Laredo's Home Expo.

Banks, realtors, home builders and city service-related booths swirled about the LEC's ground floor. Breakout sessions offered key tips and solid information for people in the market for a home.

Most of the people I spoke with while walking through the Expo were pleased with this initial effort.

A couple of folks did mention before next year's Expo rolls around that they would like to see the city do more promotional efforts, whether through print, radio or online means. Even those people, though, were glad to see the event take place and people stroll past the exhibit booths.

What I saw out there would definitely make the 2010 Home Expo a must-see event if I was interested in a home.

Here's looking forward to next year's event.
