The Cutlerville-Gaines Chamber of Commerce will host the inaugural Gaines Community Expo on Saturday, Feb. 5. The free expo, which will run from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., is an experience for the whole family designed to encourage community pride.
The expo will be held at the newly built gymnasium at Providence CRC, 7730 Eastern Ave. SE.
The expo is designed to help showcase all that Gaines Township has to offer, from businesses and industries to organizations. The expo is a chance to see a sampling of those businesses, and see firsthand how they impact the community.
“Gaines Township has a ton of businesses and local opportunities people may not even know about,” said Robin Halsted, executive director of the Cutlerville-Gaines Township Chamber of Commerce. “I hope it’s a great way to learn about the businesses in our community.”
Local schools will help provide entertainment, and there will be other events throughout the day to enjoy, including karate classes and the awarding of the 2011 Dutton Snowman Festival Awards.
In addition to the vendors, organizations and businesses, expo visitors can shop at the “Business Garage Sale,” which will showcase items from those businesses available for purchase.
“The business garage sale is a good opportunity for the businesses to bring in overstock items,” Halsted said. “It’s always good to shop locally. It builds the economy, it supports your community. So come by and see what local businesses have to offer.”
