Spring Expo Focuses On Local Products & Services

Jan 15, 2019 | 10:20 AM

Vendor registrations are now being accepted for a new event showcasing North Okanagan products and services.

Spring Expo, put on by the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce, will be held March 8th and 9th at Kal Tire Place North.

Chamber General Manager Dione Chambers says the goal of the event is to bring local businesses under one roof so they have face to face connections with existing and new customers.

“From there, long-term relationships can be established and that is an essential catalyst for the businesses and the local economy,” says Chambers.

Spring Expo will also feature family-friendly activities, including entertainment, face painting and a bouncy castle.

“We want Spring Expo to be a celebration of Greater Vernon and the North Okanagan. Spring is such a wonderful time and what better way to kick off the season than by bringing the community together,” adds Chambers.

Registration for vendor space is currently underway by calling 250-545-0771 or emailing info@vernonchamber.ca

“The region’s business community is vast and diverse, but one of the challenges for any business is making sure potential customers not only know of them, but appreciate what products and services they offer, and why supporting local benefits all of us,” says Chambers.
