Just as surely as the crocuses break through the earth and the days get longer, so too it is time for the annual West Branch Susquehanna Builders Home Show to be held from Friday, March 31 to Sunday, April 2 at the former Dick’s Sporting Goods Store, in the former Lycoming Mall.
“I am super excited about this year’s Home Show! We will have 110+ vendor booths, a putting contest, activities for kids, and a gun raffle. Bart’s Pizzeria, Real Taste 570 & Buckin’ Bean Coffee Company will be there to offer a variety of delicious food & beverages. A great way to kick off spring!” Jody Harlan, WBSBA President, told Webb Weekly.
The West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association (WBSBA) invites you to attend this harbinger of spring. It will be held in a new location this year.
This year, they will have over 60,000 square feet of exhibit space featuring more than 110 vendors. In addition, they have a large outdoor exhibit space with a variety of exhibitors. It has been a long winter, and they 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.
The WBSBA has invited local officials to kick off the Show with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, March 31, 2023. 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 tagged it as 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 show organizers are featuring three local food trucks, Bart’s Pizzeria, Real Taste Taqueria, and Buckin’ Bean Coffee.
There are a lot of adults that bring children to the Show. This year, they will have students from the Williamsport Area High School Construction Trades program helping kids make wooden birdhouses (supplies are limited, first come, first serve). The students have been working on getting the birdhouses cut and prepped at their weekly after-school meetings.
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. The exhibitors are ready to answer your questions and help bring life to your ideas.
Admission is $5 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. Products and services evolve and improve over the years.

Organizers thank the many volunteers that help make their event a success. They have students from the Williamsport Area High School Construction Trades Program and the members of the Penn College Construction Association that help them lay out the booths and volunteer throughout the Show to help make it a success for all the vendors and attendees. In addition to the students, many members of the WBSBA will put in countless hours and thousands of steps to help bring this Show to our community. The entire event is put on with only one paid staff member. They couldn’t do it without the volunteers.
