The Home Show will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 2 and 3 at Georgio’s of Orland Park, 8800 W. 159th St.

Unlike home shows elsewhere, the Home Show is free for both admission and parking.

“We don’t think property owners should have to pay to attend an expo so they can get a free estimate from a contractor or tradesman exhibiting in the show,” Jessica Keeneth-Zeuli said.

Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning will have No. 9, Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould from 1 to 3 p.m. April 3 for autographs and photos, so attendees are encourated to bring their footballs, markers and digital cameras.

In addition, Suncor Construction is sponsoring a free drawing for a global positioning system navigator.

There will be displays featuring all types of building improvements and innovations.
