Albemarle Tradewinds October 2018 Web Final

Business Expo Is A Winner
by: Holly Staples
The Chamber’s 27th Annual Business Expo was a winner with exhibitors
and attendees! Our football themed event featured aspects of
Physical Fitness, Team Building, Competition, and Victory.
During the Community Day portion, attendees took advantage of free
health screenings from Sentara Albemarle Medical Center in order to
stay in tip top shape. Eager participants engaged in the I in Team teambuilding
workshop offered free of charge by Eastern Women’s Entrepreneurship
Center. We then took a “time out” for a Cookie Decorating
Demonstration by the The Flour Girls, where participants learned how
to professionally decorate football and stadium shaped cookies. The
results were delicious!
Many exhibitors got into the spirit of the theme, but the most outstanding
were:
Best Overall – Ambrose Furniture
Best Use of Theme – Doug Williams/Rick Gilbert Refrigeration, Plumbing,
Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.
Best New Exhibitor – Builders Discount Center
The Tailgate Party event featured stiff competition for the Chef and
Sweets Challenges. Although each contender was strong, Montero’s was
victorious as the Chef Challenge Winner, and The Flour Girls claimed the
Sweets Challenge prize.
The Spectrum Reach Football Toss Challenge garnered a lot of attention
as contestants vied for the grand prize of a pair of club level Dallas
Cowboys vs Washington Redskins tickets. The lead went back and forth
all night, but in the end, Matt Scribner was the winner. Second place went
to Tommy Wooten, who won a 4 pack of tickets to UCF vs ECU. Heather
Sawyer won third place and a 4 pack of tickets to a Northeastern High
School game and assorted tailgate items.
Thank you to the Business Expo Committee members who worked so
hard to create a great event, and to our event volunteers for graciously
giving their time.
