A longtime Tillamook County tradition, the Tillamook Headlight Herald Home & Garden Show, will take place on Saturday and Sunday at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds.
The show, held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, is once again co-sponsored by Tillamook County Solid Waste and coincides with the Tillamook County Beekeepers’ Association’s Bee Days celebration.
A wide array of vendors will be at the show, offering the opportunity to address any household exterior needs, stock up for a summer garden or purchase a variety of other goods.
The beekeepers will be bringing their demonstration hive to give showgoers an inside look at the functioning of a colony and offering honey and pollinator friendly plants for sale. The group will also be hosting short classes on beekeeping starting at 9:30 and 11 a.m., and 12:30 and 2 p.m. on Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. and 1 and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
The beekeepers will also be holding a raffle over the course of the weekend with the grand prize being a handmade, Tillamook-cheese-block themed hive. A $200 gift certificate for the Tillamook Creamery will be the second-place prize, third place will receive a $100 gift certificate to the Tillamook County Creamery Association farm store and fourth will win a $50 JAndy Acres Nurseries certificate.
In addition to the beekeepers’ raffle, the Tillamook Peoples’ Utility District (TPUD), Marie Mills and Kiwanis Club of Tillamook will be holding raffles and the Tillamook County Democrats will have free drawings for prizes.
The TPUD raffle is free to enter, with a grand prize of a front loader washer and dryer set from Samsung, while Marie Mills will have gift baskets up for grabs.
The Kiwanis raffle is part of the KT Days Scholarship Drive, and all proceeds will go towards supporting the group’s scholarship program.
Handcrafted, wooden American flags will be on sale, with proceeds going to support Tillamook American Legion Post 47, which is celebrating the first anniversary of its reopening this month.
Two vendors will be offering a selection of plants to help jumpstart residents’ gardening season.
Monkey Business 101 from south Tillamook County will bring a wide assortment of berries, ranging from Logan and Lingen to Goose and Boysen, grapes, fruit trees, monkey trees and more.
Garden Witch Goods will be bringing everything from decorative flowers to edible veggies from their farm to the show.
Pacific Restaurant will be serving food to showgoers for the second year in a row, with breakfast available on Saturday and lunch available both days. Breakfast options vary from biscuits to burritos, while for lunch, burgers, tri-tip and more will be available.
Show cosponsors, Tillamook County Solid Waste, will host a booth and share information about their various programs, with a particular focus on recycling and the Oregon Department of Forestry will be handing out free seedlings.
