Business Expo's are a great way to reacquaint yourself with old businesses and the new ones that have come to our community. Whether you are a homemaker, business person, retired couple, high schooler or a jack of all trades it is a good thing to find out what is availble in your community.Why spend more precious time going somewhere else, spending gas and God forbid you would have to return an item. All these expenses add to the price of the item you could have gotten locally if you had known they were there. As a smart business owner you know that Business Expo's with the Willows Chamber are a great way to remind the public that your business is availble to serve them. And they are FREE! Just call Lisa and sign up. Let the Chamber help you spend less money and time, while having a good morning outing by attending our local Business Expo alongside the Farmers' Market.
