fallshowThe 2010 Brownwood Business Showcase held on Thursday at the Brownwood Coliseum drew quite a crowd, educating area residents about services and goods of the local businesses that were represented at the event this year.

There were over 60 booths full of diversity from non-profit organizations to private companies.  One of the biggest draws was the “Taste of Brownwood” area in the center of the coliseum towards the end of the show where area restaurants and food vendors gave samples for everyone to try.  Some of these vendors even ran out of samples because of the large crowd eager for samples.

There were also numerous drawings, prizes, and raffles throughout the day as well as samples and free products.  One lucky name was drawn for the grand prize of an Apple iPad.  The winner was not present during the drawing, but they will be notified of their lucky day.  Brownwood Chamber representatives will release the winners name next week.
