HOMEXPO ATTRACTS 30,000 SPECTATORS
AND OVER 150 EXHIBITORS
The StrongLand HomExpo, the region’s largest indoor event, attracting more than 30,000 spectators, came off without a hitch, thanks to the wonderful team work from the StrongLand Chamber volunteers. Starting on Tuesday, February 7th, StrongLand Members came out to set up tables, pipe and drape and the new wooden kiosks developed and constructed by Carl Piekarski, Stanford Home Centers. On Friday, Feb 10th, the doors opened on our largest Home Show, to date, at the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills. Riverview’s Model Home was a big hit evidenced by its thousands of spectators and thanks to Mary Ann Justham, the variety of local entertainment at the Food Court Stage went on throughout the weekend. Tom Waddell, Classic Tent Rental and Party Supplies, presented a fabulous array of items in the “Kids Zone Play Room” for the youth to enjoy. Reading over the evaluations, we could see that generally most of the exhibitors did well at acquiring leads for the future of their businesses. Five of our Chamber’s High School Entrepreneur Students set up booths in this year’s show, several returning from the previous year with a very positive story about the sales they made in the show. In just a couple of months we will begin the process all over again for our 11th consecutive year as we promote and plan for our next show, scheduled for February 8, 9 and 10, 2013. Anyone interested in being placed on the mailing list for this should contact the StrongLand Chamber at 724.845.5426, as soon as possible. With the success of this year’s show it won’t take long to fill up every available booth in the Mall
