2008 Home Show Seminar Schedule

Sponsored by Xcel Energy

Assembled below are a dynamic group of individuals to present seminars designed to help answer your questions about new home options and show you the latest home improvement techniques. The Home Show seminars are sponsored by Xcel Energy and will be held in two meeting rooms just off the main floor of the Sioux Falls Convention Center (see map on previous page).
