Marquette, MI – March 8, 2019 – It’s the first day of three for one of Marquette’s largest expos, the annual U.P. Builders Show. All throughout the weekend 130 vendors will be set up at the Northern Michigan University Superior Dome to show off their services! Looking to get a new pole building? Looking to remodel your kitchen? Maybe your next project is replace the floors in your bathroom. Maybe you’re looking to build a whole new house, or you want information on insurance for the house you already built! Whatever it is you’re looking for, even if it’s just a good time out with the family looking at all of the beautiful displays, the U.P. Builders Show has it all.
Designed as a one stop shop to bring vendors and prospective clients together, the annual U.P. Builders Show has become quite the spring tradition in Marquette. Contractors, Insurance Companies, and banks from all over the Upper Peninsula come to this show. It gives visitors a chance to find the right specialists for their project, or even just get design ideas.

Today our sister station Sunny.FM started things off early this morning with Walt and Kelsey broadcasting the Sunny Morning Show live from the Superior Dome. The two were on air from 7-10a and as they wrapped up the morning coverage, we switched to our very own Luke G for On the Job with Luke live from the show, 10a-3p on 103-FXD!
