As we enter Autumn, we are excited to plan our annual Fall for Small Business Fair on Saturday, October 1 from 10am to 2pm in the Peck Center Gymnasium.
This community event is designed to highlight and support local small businesses in our community, including $1000 Start-Ups current Cohort and Consortium members as well as other local businesses. This is the Cohort’s first opportunity to invite area small businesses to join them in displaying and selling their products and services.
The fair gives entrepreneurs in the program the opportunity to get real world experience by displaying with other local businesses and promotes small businesses and nonprofits in our area.
Please join us for a wonderful time celebrating and supporting our local small businesses, vendors will include food, artists, makers, retail, services, and other local small businesses.
