Business Expo in partnership with First Friday Celebration
Join us downtown during First Fridays, at the Adrian Armory Events Center. We’re part of the “Give Thanks” First Friday Celebration, and the expo is open to the public, free of charge from 4-7 pm on Friday, November 1, 2019.
We are teaming up with downtown merchants who participate in First Fridays to showcase local business specials in time for the holidays. The Business Expo will feature some of our local businesses, and we hope you would consider stopping in to visit with them to see what they have to offer!
In an effort to give back to the community that supports our local businesses, we are asking Expo visitors to consider bringing a donation to one of the charities we are sponsoring.
Watch for news about our grand prize giveaway, but you’ll need to visit both our Expo vendors and some of our downtown merchants to participate in the game! We promise that it will be fun…and worth your effort!
