The third annual New Wilmington Area Business Expo will be held Saturday, March 19 at the Westminster College Memorial Field House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Last year's Business Expo featured booths from 105 area businesses and over 1,000 visitors packed the Westminster Field House. This year the Business Expo will expand to the main and auxiliary gyms and the lobby to provide additional room for business booths and patrons.
"We hope that local businesses will take advantage of this great opportunity and participate," said event co-chair Betty Jones. "This type of event is a great way to introduce yourself and your business to potential customers and other businesses. We are excited about the quality of the door prizes that will be given away, and expect this year's Business Expo to showcase some of the great things available in our community."
Jones added that "home-based" businesses and food vendors are welcome to participate.
The event is organized by the New Wilmington Area Chamber of Commerce and is intended to provide local businesses with one-on-one contacts and marketing opportunities. Patrons of the event will have the opportunity to win one of many valuable door prizes being donated by participating businesses. Admission to the event is free.
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.
