The annual event showcases what businesses and service providers in the region have to offer residents of Clarence-Rockland. From small local vendors to major developers, the EXPO was a one-stop shop for all.
On top of the exhibitors, attendees were entertained by live music, story-time for kids, face painting, a brunch booth and the traditional Mayor’s Breakfast with Mayor Mario Zanth.
“With over 100 business and community leaders attending the Mayor’s Breakfast for the State of the City address, and over 125 exhibitors, this Expo was a massive success,” said Zanth. “Thank you to Anne Lizotte and her team for bringing us all together this past weekend.”
Anne Lizotte, who created and organizes the event, said this year was particularly successful with more people attending the Mayor’s Breakfast than ever before, and the addition of exhibitors to the arena’s upper bowl meant they were able to host more booths than ever before.
“It was amazing,” said Lizotte. “I have received so many calls and emails from exhibitors talking about all the great connections they were able to make.”
Lizotte is looking forward to expanding the success of the event in 2024 and is currently looking to host another Expo somewhere in the United Counties of Prescott-Russell. The second location has yet to be determined.
