In addition to helping area homeowners and do-it-yourselfers with their home improvement projects, Wilson Bank & Trust's Construction Expo is undergoing a transformation of its own for 2011.

For the 18th installment of WB&T's annual Construction Expo on Feb. 5-6, the event will be moving to a new location at The Mill in Lebanon, located at 300 North Maple Street.

The new venue will offer a warm atmosphere, a more convenient layout and expanded floor space. Guests will also have access to displays, demonstrations and advice from even more of the area's top professionals in home-building, decorating, remodeling and finance. Visitors to the Expo can register to win a $500 cash prize. Admission is free.

Vendors from all fields of the construction community - including builders, contractors, supply stores, interior decorators, nurseries and more - will be on hand to answer building or remodeling questions and provide project ideas. Home-related businesses that wish to inquire about booth space can call Becky Jennings of Wilson Bank & Trust at 443-6635.

Wilson Bank & Trust mortgage and loan professionals will also be present at the event to answer questions, provide advice and offer special rates on construction and improvement financing.

The Expo takes place Saturday, Feb. 5, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 6, from noon until 3 p.m. For more information about the Wilson Bank & Trust Construction Expo, please call (615) 444-BANK.
