One Really Tasty Experience:


2016 Sacramento Regional Design & Build Expo


By Nissa Hallquist


In 2016, NKBA California Capital Chapter brought the design/build and wine industries together for the Inaugural Sacramento Regional Design & Build Expo at the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, CA (fifteen minutes from downtown Sacramento). Popular as a unique “wine mall,” the Old Sugar Mill is also a wonderfully charming setting for a builders’ expo.


The 2016 Expo offered a lot for attendees. Depending on what you’d like to get out of it, there were three separate “experience” levels:


The Exhibit Experience The Old Sugar Mill Experience


Since you were already there, why not add-on some wine tasting after perusing all the exhibits? The Old Sugar Mill Experience granted you access to the facility’s many wine tasting rooms; at least eight different wineries to experience. This was available as an add-on to The Exhibit Experience, or was included if you went with The Total Experience.


Proceeds from the


2016 event supported NKBA California Capital Chapter programs and Habitat for Humanity.


This was a great way to chat with experts, network with professionals and find out more about the latest and greatest in the design and build industry. And you couldn’t have asked for a more delightful setting. Dozens of exhibitors were conveniently clustered in and around the Old Sugar Mill’s main event building.


The Total Experience included all the exhibits and wine tasting, with a reception afterward, catered dinner and live auction. Plus, amazing performance art by local celebrity painter, David Garibaldi (who you may know from “America’s Got Talent”).


For those in need of ongoing education credits, a supplemental experience, The Learning Experience, was available to add onto either The Exhibit Experience or the Total Experience. Amazing live speaker-led presentations were available for a whole lot of learning.


Make sure and join us for the 2nd annual Design & Build Event on May 12, 2017 at the Milagro Center in Sacramento for a ‘Culinary Experience’. We will have an Executive Chef demonstration, an amazing dining experience with Sacramento region’s local food and beverages, live entertainment and dancing and silent and live auctions. Proceeds from this event will support HomeAid as well as continued support for NKBA’s educational programs and right to practice.
