Westminster College will host the eighth annual New Wilmington Chamber of Commerce Business Expo Saturday, March 13, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in Memorial Field House. The public is invited to attend.

Organized by the Chamber, sponsors of the Expo are First National Bank, The Springfield Group, and Westminster College.

Area businesses, including those that are home-based, are encouraged to participate. Spaces are still available and there is time to register before the Feb. 28 deadline.

In addition to a nominal registration fee, each vendor is required to furnish a door prize. Prizes received to date include wedding gown preservation; an MP3 player; a therapy ball and free exercise sessions; portrait sitting and wall print; gift baskets; and assorted jewelry pieces.

New this year will be a $1 donation at the door from all visitors aged 12 and older.

"All proceeds will benefit area charities during a time when overall giving is down," said Anne Bruening, Expo co-chair. "The Chamber will donate the monies to the Crisis Shelter of Lawrence County, People in Need, and City Rescue Mission in New Castle."
