The Wanganui Chronicle team is all ready to welcome an expected 10,000 visitors to this weekend's Home & Lifestyle Show.

The Jubilee Stadium should be bursting at the seams on Saturday and Sunday for what promises to be the Chronicle's best expo yet.

All the stands have been snapped up for the fifth annual show and that means more than 80 exhibitors will be showing off their goods and services.

The show promises something for everyone - and that includes giveaways, samples and lots of competitions with some great prizes. Cosmetics, virtual reality, engineering, soup maker, garage doors, roofing, insulation, election candidates, energy-saving machinery, DIY gear, banking, health advice... the list goes on.

Entry is by gold coin donation and it is sure to be a packed house for the two-day extravaganza. The doors open from 9am to 5pm on Saturday and from 9am to 4pm on Sunday. Get there early to make the most of the bargains and giveaways.
