Log and Timber Frame Home Show Coming
To New Sevierville Events Center at Bridgemont
Experience the Warmth and Natural Beauty of Log Home Living
The Log and Timber Frame Home Show, Sept. 28–30 at the Sevierville Events Center at Bridgemont, showcases the eye-popping, energy-efficient designs and fine craftsmanship that make log and timber frame homes a fast-growing segment of the custom-home market. It will be the first home show at the brand-new Sevierville facility, the focal point of the Bridgemont resort-city development with spectacular views of the Smoky Mountains, the largest resort development under construction in the South.
“People who love the outdoors love the warmth and natural beauty of log and timber frame homes,” show director Ed Erickson says. “At least 20,000 new ones are sold every year, both as primary residences and as vacation or retirement homes. They are particularly popular in the Smoky Mountains region, where they fit perfectly into the landscape. Ranging from traditional cabins to large, ultra-modern homes with stylish extras and technological conveniences, their appeal reaches all ages and income levels.”
The Sevierville Log and Timber Frame Home Show features free educational seminars, exhibitors of many home styles and accessories, an on-site sawmill and live demonstrations of chainsaw carving. “Show-goers can conveniently compare log home and timber framing styles and familiarize themselves with many companies and hundreds of floor plans under one roof, instead of having to travel around to see them,” Erickson adds. “Owners of these homes all stress the importance of doing your homework before you start the process. This is a great opportunity to do a lot of research all at once.”
Whether considering a new home or adding distinctive touches to an existing one, log and timber frame home enthusiasts can collect decorating and design ideas from the industry's leading companies at the Sevierville show. Each of its three days includes free seminars on log and timber frame construction as well as exhibits covering residential/recreational investment properties, log home communities, one-of-a-kind handcrafted log furniture, furnishings and light fixtures, decorating and remodeling, kitchen and bath ideas, financing, alternative energy, landscaping and much more. Attendees can also enter to win a weekend giveaway courtesy of Hidden Mountain Resorts, a $500 gift certificate from 84 Lumber Company, and other prizes.
The Log and Timber Frame Home Show opens in the Sevierville Events Center at Bridgemont on Friday, Sept. 28, noon to 7 p.m. and continues Saturday, Sept. 29, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 30, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets, good for all exhibits and seminars for all three days, are $10 (free for children under 18 with an adult).
