Sponsored by Xcel Energy

As in past years, we've assembled a dynamic group of individuals to present specialized workshops designed to help answer questions about new home options and show you the latest home improvement techniques. The free Home Show™ workshops 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 for details). Below is the complete lineup of workshops.
