In addition to two days of Make It Myself hands-on workshops with PBS 45 & 49's how-to experts on Feb. 27 & 28, 2004 at the Crowne Plaza Quaker Square, The Make It Myself Expo is also a "show-within-a-show" at the Akron/Canton Home & Flower Show, Feb. 27-29, at the John S. Knight Center!
These two facilities are located within very easy walking distance from one another (almost directly across the street) in downtown Akron.
The PBS 45 & 49 Make It Myself Expo consumer show will feature an exhibit area dedicated entirely to arts and crafts, including books, materials and supplies for stamping, scrapbooking, painting, beading, stained glass, woodworking, music and more. The PBS 45 & 49 Make It Myself Expo exhibits and bookstore will be housed in a second floor exhibit area at the John S. Knight Center, in conjunction with the Akron/Canton Home & Flower Show.
