It’s an event which aims to give home-based businesses a chance to show off what they do in Lloydminster.
The inaugural Home Business Expo will hit the Gold Horse Casino Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For Chris Brinklow, event organizer, this event was an important opportunity for these businesses.
“There are a lot of businesses here in town, whether it’s 3D printing or whether it’s baking or even catering, they just run them out of their house,” he said. “I felt it was important to me to give vendors, local vendors, an opportunity to showcase their home business and have people come through.”
Brinklow, who owns the home-based business Maxwell Music DJ Company, says this event gives businesses more attention.
“The show is designed not to be like a farmer’s market, but to be more for people that have that business out of their house that they can’t necessarily get the attention that most storefronts can,” he said.
The event features over 35 vendors.
“I tried to make sure I had a good variety and not double up on a lot of vendors,” said Brinklow.
It’s $2 to get into the event or $5 for a group of three. There are also two gift baskets with random items that people can win tickets for that are $2 each at the door.
