Community Business Expo coming is back April 21st!

After last year’s very successful inaugural Community Business Expo we are busy planning 2018’s event.

The event will be held inside Riverside Arena on Saturday, April 21st from 9am-1pm. Each business or

organization that is interested will have be given a space to promote their business, hand out promotional

materials, have a game or drawing for prizes, and explain their business to attendees of the Expo. The

event will be free to the public to attend. Each reserved spot will be $75 for Chamber members, or $150

for non-Chamber members.

Space is limited, and “First come, First Served” so if you are interested in taking part please call me at

218-485-4145, or email me at [email protected] to pay/register and reserve your spot. Keep in

mind that Business Expo’s are a great place to not only meet new potential customers, but also a place for

ideas, and even recruit new employees if you so choose. You get the chance to see what other businesses

have done and what has made them successful.

Please consider taking part in this event, it is a great way to connect with your community!
