Upcoming expo to showcase local business
The Kent Chamber of Commerce Business Expo is taking place next month.
There are expected to be close to 100 booths from local businesses, both Chamber and non-Chamber members. The Taste of Kent will also be taking place and is set to feature more than 10 of the city's best restaurants.
Presentations, games, prizes, and plenty of giveaways will be on offer, and every person entering will receive a goody bag filled with promotional items.
There are still some openings for businesses and restaurants for this year. Fees for businesses until September 30 are $199 for members and $350 for nonmembers. After this, the cost is $250 for members and $400 for nonmembers, and electricity is an extra $50. For those participating in the Taste of Kent, the cost is $50 and they must supply enough food samples for 300 people.
Sponsorships are also available from $350 up to $1,000. Depending on the level, sponsors will have their logo printed on the goody bag or pay for prizes. Businesses can also purchase advertising in the Booth Key newsletter that everyone will receive for $100 for members, or $150 for nonmembers. It is possible the goody bags will be provided by Kent printing companies.
The Business Expo will be held at the ShoWare Center on October 20 from 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM. Admission is free. Call 253-854-1770 to learn more.
