Business Expo is overwhelming success

More than a year ago, the Adrian Chamber of Commerce made a commitment to support area businesses by providing ways for people to learn more about what they do and what they have to offer. To that extent, the Chamber hosted the first ever Business Expo last Saturday at the Adrian Optimist Building. Fifty-eight exhibitors were on hand to talk about their businesses to more than 750 people who came through the doors. Adrian Chamber President Kip Yoss said, “The Expo was an overwhelming success. Everything went well. Most businesses had new sales, leads or opportunities to provide information. Everything we hoped to get out of the Expo we did.”

The Chamber, vendors and those who attended are already looking to another successful Business Expo. Expo Committee Chair Phil Oates said, “I am looking forward to next year.”
