1. Celebrity Guests.
This year, come check out Kevin O’Connor from PBS’ This Old House and John and Whitney Spinks from Florida Flippers.Older homes come with a specific set of quirks and challenges and as longtime host of This Old House, Kevin O’Connor has seen it all. He shares years of wisdom gleaned from historic home renovations with show guests on Friday and Saturday at the Inspiration Stage.

North Florida’s own John and Whitney Spinks went from DIYers to TV designers on HGTV’s Flipping The Block and Florida Flippers. Today, they’re successful Realtors, contractors and designers. They’ll share their top flip tips on Saturday, September 30 at 1 p.m. at the Inspiration Stage.

2. Tiny Homes Are Back 
Don’t forget to head out to the Courtyard to check out the Tiny Home that guests can tour.
