There is no question we are going through difficult economic times.  It is all over the news and in our minds.  The fallout to this is that our business community is also feeling anxiety about what to participate in and what to support.  It has been a very long and busy summer.   We are hearing that business owners are not able to devote time and energy away from their businesses to participate in the upcoming Business Expo.

We are postponing the Business Expo on October 6th because of just this issue.  We are committed to providing excellent programs that are enthusiastically supported and well attended for our members rather than events that don’t use your business and sponsorships to the highest benefit.  The Business Expo will be back next spring.  Last year the Tri-Area Chamber had a spectacular Expo, and we are looking forward to providing the same high quality event that our Chamber is known for.  We think it is a great idea; a meeting place to showcase your business, strut your stuff, learn, network, and meet your fellow Jefferson County Business community.
