Richland Area Chamber of Commerce to host 12th Annual Business Expo

The Richland Area Chamber of Commerce will be holding their 12th Annual Business Expo on Thursday, March 16th, 2017 from 11:00am – 5:00pm at the Richland County Fairgrounds. This will be the largest Chamber Expo ever, with over 100 local businesses and non-profit organizations exhibiting. A special ribbon cutting with local officials will be held at 10:45am to open the event.

This year the event will have a baseball theme. Admission and parking is free, and the Business Expo is open to the public. Individual booths will be offering prizes, samples and giveaways. The Chamber will also be holding prize drawings throughout the day. A canned food drive is being held and every attendee who brings a can will receive an entry into a special prize drawing. Visitors during the “Power Hours” of 2:30-4:30pm, will be entered to win special prizes being drawn on the half hour starting at 3pm.

The Expo is a great way for consumers to interact with businesses and learn more about what they offer. “This is a huge event for the community, and it continues to grow each year. We sold out of booth space in February, so we encourage the public to come out and see what local businesses have to offer,” said Chamber President, Jodie A. Perry. “Once again, we have a large variety of businesses and organizations participating so there will be something for everyone.”

Twenty-seven local businesses are sponsoring the Expo including presenting sponsors Affordable Lawn Services & Snowplowing, Graham Automall, Hamilton Insurance Group, and Kloud9 IT, Inc. A complete list of sponsors and other important information can be found on the Chambers website, www.RichlandAreaChamber.com.

The Richland Area Chamber of Commerce is the largest regional business advocacy organization with nearly 1,000 members in the Mid-Ohio area.
