And Fred’s Flooring will give guests some ideas on the many different flooring possibilities at their home or office.
Organizers aim for the event to not only be a fun and interesting way to spend an evening, but to also stimulate economic activity among some of the unique mom-and-pop operations that make the community special and to increase exposure for the independent businesses in an increasingly corporate-dominated world and to present a variety of useful resources for small business owners—upstart, and existing, business owners can find help with business planning, insurance, digital marketing, finance, advertising, sales and getting accredited by the Better Business Bureau at the business fair.
The event is free to attend. All are welcome to drop in anytime from 4–8 p.m., May 19.
Limited booth spaces remain.
