Hazleton Mayor Cusat officially launches re-election campaign

<p>WILKES-BARRE TWP. &#8211; Barbecue probably isn&#8217;t the first thing that comes to mind when the topic of attending a home and garden show comes up.</p><p>But there was Emery Goldstein of Major Flavor Seasonings selling his line of seasonings and rubs at the 18th annual Northeastern Pennsylvania Home &amp; Garden Show.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been getting a pretty good reaction,&#8221; Goldstein said Friday, decked out in a large blue foam top hat with snow flakes hanging off the brim.</p><p>Goldstein was just one of the more than 100 vendors who descended on Mohegan Sun Arena for this weekend&#8217;s show. It runs through Sunday.</p><p>&#8220;(We have) a little bit of everything,&#8221; said assistant show manager Jamie Milliron when asked what can be expected at the venue.</p><p>Milliron was quick to point to appearances by the Penn State Master Gardeners, cast members from the TV show &#8220;Tanked&#8221; and a favorite of children of all ages, Curious George.</p><p>She also pointed to the show&#8217;s new product section where visitors can check out a wireless birdfeeder, lighted toilet seat and a device that makes carrying your groceries to your car easier.</p><p>Of course, the show also offers plenty of the traditional home and garden show fare, including garden and landscaping, awnings and sunrooms, outdoor furniture and much more.</p><p>Dave Lavin, of Franklin Township, was on hand to check out those more traditional offerings.</p><p>&#8220;I came to see what&#8217;s new and look at building products and stuff,&#8221; Lavin said. &#8220;I talked to a guy about water control for your basement.</p><p>&#8220;That was interesting and I made an appointment for him to come up and give me a free estimate.&#8221;</p><style>
