BATH - With warm weather an increasing certainty, the 2007 Home and Recreation Show, scheduled for May 19-20 at the Steuben County Fairgrounds, has plenty of supplies and ideas for the region's home and farming communities. Spas, stoves, tractors, real estate and home improvement will abound from one end of the fairgrounds to the other.

And not only that: Great musical acts will perform throughout the weekend, beginning with the Irish folk band, Kilrush, which will perform from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Sponsored by the Steuben Courier-Advocate, the Home Show annually brings together the best in home and farm equipment and services, including siding, gutters, energy and kitchen products, and real estate and financial services.

And then there's the food: The Bath Rotary Club opens the show at 8 a.m. Saturday with a pancake breakfast. Chicken barbecues will be available each afternoon, along with hotdogs, hamburgers and sugar waffles.

The music starts at noon Saturday with the strains of Kilrush's acoustic Irish folk music and the clatter of dancing feet from the dance troupe Ring of Ciarraighe. Elsewhere on the fairgrounds, the Boogey Men Unplugged band will perform from 1 to 4 p.m., offering its unique blend of high energy, bluesy rock and roll.

The Bath Rotary Club will continue serving pancake breakfasts Sunday starting at 9 a.m. The second day of the Home Show also will feature hay wagon rides, a polka concert by Les Kocianski and recorded music courtesy of Finger Lakes Entertainment from 10 a.m. to noon and Ultimate Sound and Lights from noon to 4 p.m. The Sound and Lights recordings will accompany the 2007 Classic Car Show, sponsored by Bath Napa Auto Parts and Machuga Contracting.

Classic automobile owners may register their babies at the Napa store on Lackawanna Ave. from 10 to 11 a.m. Sunday.

The vehicles and their drivers will parade to the fairgrounds for judging at 11 a.m. Trophies will be awarded later in the afternoon.

Stop by the fairgrounds and enjoy the products, services and festivities!
