C.L. Expo - Wow!

The Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce hit another home-run this year with its 2012 Home & Business Expo at Crystal Lake South High School. This event is well organized and high energy! It runs one more day, and you may want to drop by on Sunday (March 25) from 11:00AM until 3:00PM.

(L-R) Button, Linden, Smith
There are 140 exhibitors. Be sure to stop and meet the folks manning the booths and pick up their promotional information. And save it.

Staffing the booth for the McHenry County College were Sharon Button, Peter Linden and Dr. Vicky Smith, President of the College. The College had a good location on the corner of an aisle, and Dr. Smith was right out front speaking to students who were passing by and promoting the College. I think it's highly commendable that a president of a college will spend her day at a community expo. Thanks, Dr. Smith! And thanks to your colleagues. They were doing a great job, too, representing MCC.

The Crystal Lake Chamber has certainly found the "magic" to promoting a successful event. All the booth space sold out well in advance of the opening of the Expo. Many thanks to all the Chamber members and volunteers for participating in this great event.

I didn't get the names of this happy couple (lower photo), but they were certainly having a good time!
