Local businesses began setting up their vendor booths Wednesday afternoon for the 6th Annual Spring Business Showcase at the Brownwood Coliseum. The event is scheduled to take place Thursday, April 4th from 10 AM -6 PM and will showcase the goods and services offered by area businesses.
The theme for 2013 is “Rock the Red Carpet” and will host 60 vendors with booths decked out to reveal their favorite movie of all time. Fashion shows will begin at 11:00 AM with Bon Worth, Maurices at 2:00 PM, Dazzling Diva’s at 3:00 PM.
The format for the event changed from Saturday to Thursday for this year, similar to the business showcase hosted in September. The show has also been expanded this year offering more vendors, exhibitors, and fashion shows.
“This year to allow better exposure for all participants, the show has been moved to Thursday and includes businesses of every type.” said Missi Malone, Director of Member Services for the Chamber. “In the past, the spring business show focused mostly on seasonal activities such as outdoor recreation, gardening, and home improvements.”
Door prizes will be given out each hour, compliments of participating vendors, and at the end of the day; visitors who play Expo BINGO will be eligible to win one of the Grand Door Prizes. Visitors to the show who complete a BINGO card will be eligible to win a 32” Flat Screen TV from Aaron’s Sales & Lease, a Wooden Patio Set from Bob’s Fuels or a handmade Rocking Chair from McMillian Rustic Furniture.
The showcase is sponsored this year by Affiliated Bank and Higginbotham’s – ACE.
Admission to the show will be $2 for adults and free to kids 10 and under.
