There are still a few booths available for the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce’s first Spring Expo trade show coming April 17-19.
March 13 is the deadline for vendors to reserve a spot at the event that is sure to be a great chance for residents and businesses to network and see what is available inside and outside the valley. They are hoping to make it an annual event.
“We are pleased to be introducing a tradeshow back in Drumheller. The Chamber of Commerce Board and staff have been discussing this event for a couple of years,” said Heather Bitz, executive Director of the Drumheller and district Chamber of Commerce. “To make it a reality now is very exciting! It is our intent to have the Spring Expo to be an annual event and we look forward to it growing in the years to come.”
Last week they estimated they were about 40 per cent sold out, with a number of exhibitors leaning towards booking. Bitz said there is a contingent from outside the valley hoping to be a part of the three-day tradeshow at Greentree Mall.
Drumheller and District Chamber of commerce office and chamber services coordinator Marley Henneigh said this is a great change to be seen.
“This show is a really great opportunity for any business or group to gain some exposure and remind people who they are and what they do. We have a good variety of vendors booked in so far but there’s room for more! We’ve been getting some really positive feedback about it from the community, I think people are excited to have a trade show back in Drumheller,” she said.
