BEMIDJI — The Sanford Center was a buzz of activity on Friday afternoon as the 43rd Bemidji Jaycees’ Home, Sport and Travel Show kicked off for the first time since 2019.

The event continues through 8 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday at the Sanford Center. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for ages 6-17. Children 5 and under will be admitted free.

“Everybody knows that once the Home, Sport and Travel Show happens, spring is around the corner and it’s just a great opportunity to showcase our local businesses in town,” said Jaycee member Eva Fisher during set up on Thursday .

The Jaycees are hoping folks are ready to get back out and hit their rite-of-spring event.

“As events are happening more, we anticipate a lot of people from the community coming through and making those relationships and connections with the businesses here,” Fisher said.
