The HOME girls and Rich kick off the show with a Thanksgiving recap, discussing Jen’s massive family gathering of 53 people and Ashley’s triumph smoking a turkey for the first time. Later, they look ahead to Christmas menu planning and highlight the Holiday/Winter issue’s DIY felt ornament project, encouraging listeners to download the stencils and get creative during the colder months.

Shawne Farmer, Executive Director of Interfaith Outreach Association, joined the discussion to talk about the organization’s mission to keep families together through rent, utility, and furniture assistance. She stressed the critical importance of proactive prevention in avoiding homelessness and shared details about the upcoming Downtown Historic Church Open House, a free holiday event featuring tours of seven historic Lynchburg churches.

Laura Francis Borel from Francis Oil and Propane dropped by to offer essential safety tips ahead of the forecasted snow, advising homeowners to clear paths for delivery trucks and check tank gauges early. She specifically highlighted the importance of refreshing batteries in both gas log remotes and receiver boxes to ensure operation during power outages, and suggested outdoor fire features as lasting holiday gifts.

The HOME Show is presented by Piedmont Floor Show, found online at PiedmontFloorShow.com or at their Timberlake Road showroom.
