This fun, family-friendly event will feature 20 local vendors and small businesses — all ready to help you get a jump start on your spring shopping! It’s a perfect opportunity to pick up unique spring and Easter items, handmade gifts, home décor, boutique clothing, tasty treats, and so much more — all while supporting small businesses from right here in our community.

“The Small Business Spring Expo is a wonderful way to celebrate and support the local talent we have in our area,” said CAPCIL’s Coalition Coordinator, Heather Cosby. “When you shop local, you’re investing in your neighbors, your friends, and your community.”
