Thinking of upgrading, improving, remodeling your home? On Saturday, Feb 8, from 9AM to 2PM, come to the Big White Tent at the Crossings, Concord, and meet dozens of great local home improvement professionals who can help you achieve your goals at the Home Expo 2014! There’ll be a wide range of local professionals (contractors, plumbers, landscapers, electricians, roofers, painters, and financial planners) who help homeowners upgrade their homes, and afford the improvements they need.

This FREE event is held in Concord’s Crossings community, surrounded by almost 1,100 homes, and is a fun family oriented event. This year there’ll be presentations on home buying, home financing, and the home improvements that are proven to add value to Bay Area homes. It’s also a fundraiser for Highlands Elementary School, with food and drink stands, and a playground next door for kids to run around – so feel free to bring the family.

WHEN: Saturday February 8th 2014 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM

WHERE: In a huge white tent behind the Crossings Community Clubhouse on Oakbrook Court, Concord.

Today is the last day the Old Spaghetti Factory will be celebrating their 45th Anniversary the next 2 weeks and in honor of their anniversary, they will be offering lunch and dinner entrees for $4 – $5 and kids meals for $3. This special menu will be offered on Monday January 13th, Tuesday January 14th,  Monday January 20th (Martin Luther King holiday) & Tuesday the 21st.

Make sure to check out the menu – there are 9 different entrée options plus kids meals for $3 and coffee, tea or milk for $1. Plus all the entrees come with bread, soup or a salad and then desert (Vanilla ice cream or Spumoni).  This could be a nice, frugal meal out if you’ve been wanting to eat out but haven’t had the budget to do so for awhile. Remember if you go, experiencing dinner from inside the train is always cool!
