2010 SPRING ATLANTA HOME SHOW ANNOUNCES AMERICAN FAMILY INSURANCE AS NEW PRESENTING SPONSOR

Prestigious National Insurer Will Usher in the 32nd Year
Of the Spring Atlanta Home Show


ATLANTA -- For the first time, American Family Insurance will serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2010 Spring Atlanta Home Show (www.AtlantaHomeShow.com), according to Michael Schoppenhorst, director of the Show.  “We are very pleased that this nationally-known insurance company has chosen to support the Spring Atlanta Home Show, now in its 32nd year.  Today, more than ever, homeowners are looking for ways to improve their homes, from going green to making adaptations for aging in place.  Insurance is a crucial component of successful home ownership, which is why having American Family Insurance (www.amfam.com) sponsor the Show is such a good fit,” he said.

The 2010 Spring Atlanta Home Show is a SEMCO production and will be held Friday-Sunday, March 19-21, 2010 at the Cobb Galleria Centre.  The Show’s theme is Make Your Home New Again, and it will feature exhibits from over 300 local home improvement companies, as well as seminars on a variety of topics.  Guest speakers and hands-on demonstrations will provide attendees with tips and advice on cooking, gardening, home repair, decorating, recreation, aging in place and other subjects related to home remodeling and home improvement.  There will be activities for children, live radio broadcasts and culinary demonstrations.

“A special feature of the Spring Show will be the ‘Circle of Wine’, a wine-tasting area for adults.  Proceeds from the tasting will benefit Travelers Aid of Metro Atlanta,” said Schoppenhorst.  “The Show will also offer an Artist Showcase where attendees can meet artists from across the Southeast and purchase their works,” he said.

In addition to American Family Insurance, sponsors and promotional partners include the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), the National Aging in Place Council (NAIPC), Viking, My Accessable Home, Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine and Consult-A-Home-Pro.  For an up-to-date list of confirmed exhibitors and a roster of speakers scheduled to present on the Home Show Stage, visit www.AtlantaHomeShow.com.
