Want to showcase your businesses products and services to thousands of potential local and area clients? Mark your calendars now for the upcoming 14th annual Business Expo sponsored by the Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce at the Kendall County Fairgrounds on March 29, where you will have the opportunity to do just that.

Contracts have been mailed to all chamber members or you can go online to our Web site at www.boerne.org and download one. Trade show booths as well as sponsorships for the event are already filling up, so be sure to complete and return your contract as soon as possible since booth availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

You don’t have to be a chamber member to obtain a booth, but members get discounted rates at this annual expo as part of their membership. It is a wonderful opportunity to connect with potential clients at a very affordable rate.

To kick off the Business Expo, we will again feature the annual Taste of the Town preview mixer on March 28. The Taste of the Hill Country will feature a taste of almost every restaurant in our area. Ticket to this event are only $5 per person for a fun evening of food and drink while you get a sneak preview of all the booths and have the opportunity to get some quality networking in to boot. Call the chamber and ask for Kerry Phillip for more information or check it out online.
