All aboard! “Cruise” through the Commerce & Community Expo presented by Horizon Credit Union on May 20th at the Bonner County Fairgrounds from 3 to 7 pm. Welcomed by tour guides, visitors will receive a map and passport to journey “ship tours” and “ports of call” and discover all the many services and opportunities available in the Greater Sandpoint area.
“Whether looking for an opportunity to find new business opportunities or seek the products and services available in our area, we invite the community to come have fun at the Commerce & Community Expo on May 20th,” said Amy Little, CEO & President of the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce.
The passport is an interactive way to participate in the event, Little says. Visitors will have it stamped as they meet people representing participating businesses and organizations. Those who complete their passport will enter to win a 3-day North Idaho Getaway package, and all visitors can enter to win fabulous prizes while on board.
Guests will explore a wide variety of both new and long-time treasures in the ship tours and ports of call: statehouse tours feature elected officials, concierge showcase all the ‘stay’ vacation and services available, promenade vendors sell a variety of retail items, galley volunteers raise money for the a cause with bakery items and other goodies, and the pursar’s office includes financial services. Other ship tours and ports of call include education alley, the bridge, information highway, kids club, lifeboats, and the infamous gangway sponsors.
The event is sponsored by Horizon Credit Union, Aaging Better In-Home Care, Mountain West Bank, Reynolds Auto Sales, Bonner County Daily Bee, and K102 Country.
