Although it will be held at a new location, the Liberty Arena (315 Hepburn St., Williamsport), the 63rd West Branch Susquehanna Builders Show, promises to provide the same excellent information for homeowners and others wishing to do various fix-ups and renovations on their homes and other properties. It will be held from Friday, April 26, to Sunday, April 28.
“I am super excited about this year’s Home Show! We will have 110+ vendor booths, a putting contest, local agencies and nonprofits, and a gun raffle. A great way to kick-off spring!” Jody Harlan, president of the WBSBA, told Webb Weekly. Interestingly, Harlan is the first woman to serve as president of the WBSBA.
There will be more than 35,000 square feet of exhibit space featuring over 110 vendors. In addition, there are some nonprofits and several local agencies, including the Williamsport Bureau of Police, Bureau of Fire, and the Lycoming County Sheriff’s Office. It has been a long winter, and organizers hope this will provide a great opportunity for the community to come out and see all the latest trends, products, and ideas for your home improvement or building projects.
They have invited local officials to kick off the Show with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2024. The Home Show will open to the public at 3 p.m. Over the past 60 years, the West Branch Susquehanna Builders Home Show has become one of the area’s most highly anticipated events for businesses and consumers alike. Its success has made it one of the most successful home shows in the region. Exhibitors come from all over Central Pennsylvania and the Northern Tier, even as far away as Harrisburg and Altoona.
“This year, with us at Liberty Arena, consumers will be able to attend the Show and then make a day of it by visiting Kaos Fun Zone arcade, bowling, Flyworld Trampoline park, or Scorz Bar & Grill. There will also be concessions available right inside the arena. Be sure you come to the Show hungry!”
Make sure you stop by the free putting contest sponsored by WBSBA — anyone who gets a hole-in-one will be entered to win a $100 gift card drawn at the end of each day of the Show.
Vendors can showcase their business services and products to many local homeowners. Attendees will find a wealth of information, products, services, and creative ideas all in one place, drawing inspiration and opportunities from unexpected places. Exhibitors are ready to answer your questions and help bring life to your ideas.
Admission is $5.00 for adults. Children 18 and under are admitted free with an adult. Tickets may be purchased at the door — cash only.
Spring is a great time to think about building a new home, begin your next home improvement project, or get new ideas.

Organizers of the Show wish to thank the many volunteers who helped make the event a success. They have students from the Williamsport Area High School – Construction Trades Program and the Penn College Construction Association members who help them volunteer throughout the Show to help make it a success for all our vendors and attendees. In addition to the students, many members of the Association will put in countless hours and thousands of steps to bring this show to our community. The entire event is put on with only one paid staff member. Organizers say they couldn’t do it without their volunteers.
Attendees can also purchase tickets for the popular Gun Raffle at the Show. (Tickets are 1 for $10 or 3 for $25.) On Sunday at 3:30 p.m., ten lucky gun raffle ticket winners will be drawn. Winners of all prizes will be notified by phone, and you will not need to be present to win.
