The event will feature exclusively Oxford County-based brands and organizations, distinguishing itself from other marketplaces. Confirmed vendors include Hometown Style Boutique, Selena Strong Fitness, and Lilac Woods Studio. There will also be food and drink vendors showcasing the diversity of Oxford County’s culinary scene. Live music throughout the event will add to the overall atmosphere.
Promotional material expresses the event’s desire to create a homey atmosphere and:
“Celebrate the people from our home who are dedicated to sharing their magic and using it to build our community. Come experience all Oxford County has to offer, see friendly familiar faces and understand what it truly means when we say Small Business, Big Heart.”
The Heart of Oxford will also feature a give-away for attendees, areas for social media-friendly photo ops, and much more. Marketplaces like this, often promoted through methods like poster printing and social media, are a popular place to find holiday gifts and be exposed to new products and tastes. The event is sponsored by Community Futures Oxford, which aims to grow the local economy and encourage people to buy local.
The 2024 Heart of Oxford Expo will take place at November 9 at Oxford Auditorium in Woodstock.
