“It’s a great place to see and be seen,” said Tom Kinlough, store manager at .

About 1,000 people attended the sold-out show. Debbie Crum, business development manager for The Chamber, said the event is popular with vendors because it features food, drinks and plenty of prizes and giveaways.

“It’s not your typical expo,” she said. “It’s kind of like a reunion every year.”
