Women's showcase and business expo coming up

Milford — Does the price to fill your tank prevent you from traveling beyond Pike County? Then come out and see what our local community businesses can offer you. The Pike County Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business will be sponsoring a Women’s Showcase and Business Expo, which will take place on Friday, July 18, and is a great way to meet and become informed about all types of business and services we have right in our own backyard. The showcase will take place at Cliff Park Inn between 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Not only does the showcase give local businesses the opportunity to connect with the community, it also gives the residents of the area the option to come and see what the business community has to offer them; learn more information about a specific business or just ask questions. Of course, I’m sure there will also be lots of samples available. Usually Pike County businesses rely on tourism to fuel sales, but due to the slow economy and high utility rates businesses have been hurting - The answer “Get Out and Shop Local.” What could be better then to come meet the local businesses all at the Women’s Showcase and Business Expo. The Women’s Showcase and Business Expo is open to chamber members and non- members. Tickets are $5 for chamber members and $7 for non-members. With the purchase of a ticket you will receive an arms-length worth of raffle tickets for many prizes. There will also be free food, drawings for a GPS, and many other give-aways. Some of the venders who will be in attendance will include 7th Street Gallery, Nancy’s Biscotti’s, Susie’s Sweet Shop, Hare Hollow, Weichert Realty, Milford Magazine, California Closets, Kids Play Today, Premier Jewelry, Niki Jones Agency, Safe Haven, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Pampered Chef, Handmade Purses, Children’s Clothing, Firefly Toy Shop, GMAC Mortgage, Twin Cedars Assisted Living, OnStage Travel, The Furniture Find, Fetch & Fix, and TLC Pet Sitting.
