Jones added that "home-based" businesses and food vendors are welcome to participate.

 All area businesses are invited to participate.  A registration fee is required in addition to providing a door prize.  Each participating business will be given space to display their products.  New Wilmington Area Chamber members receive a discount off the registration fee.  Deadline to register is Feb. 14, and space is limited.
