Delaware Resorts Expos held its seventh annual Fall Home Expo Sept. 21-22 at Cape Henlopen High School, where hundreds of visitors gleaned information about home products and services, home builders, and financial, insurance and retirement firms. There were also vendors offering information about health, wellness, and arts and crafts products.

Sponsors included the Cape Gazette, Delaware Beach Book, Delaware Beach Life, Sussex County Women’s Journal, A. Piazza Nursery & Landscaping, Clean Cut Pavers & Pools, Northrop Realty, Doyle Law and Patio Systems.

The Fall Home Expo greeted its visitors with a uniquely decorated entrance filled with beautiful trees, assorted fall perennials, large pumpkins and cornstalks to celebrate the first day of fall.

“A special thanks to Anthony [Piazza] of A. Piazza Nursery and Landscaping for beautifying our entrance,” said Kathy Benson, Delaware Resorts Expos founder and coordinator. “This was a dream come true for me.”

More than 1,500 visitors had the pleasure of meeting 95 home-related exhibitors, both inside and outside the high school. 

Next up for Delaware Resorts Expos is the 55+ Expo to be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2, at Cape High.
