The First National Bank of Slippery Rock has signed on to be the corporate sponsor of the New Wilmington Area Business Expo.
The second annual New Wilmington Area Business Expo will be held Saturday, March 13 at the Westminster College Memorial Field House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 80 businesses have signed up to participate in the event.
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.
Last year's inaugural Business Expo featured booths from 55 area businesses and over 500 visitors packed the Wilmington High School cafeteria. The larger Westminster College Field House provides room for 100 business booths and will allow patrons more room to see displays and browse.
"We hope that local businesses will take advantage of this great opportunity and participate," said New Wilmington Area Chamber of Commerce President Tim Kelly. "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."
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.
