BY ROD LEE<br />
For many of us, the month of<br />
<strong>March</strong> means the <strong>Blackstone</strong><br />
<strong>Valley</strong> Chamber of Commerce’s<br />
annual Home & Community<br />
Expo, which boasts all of the<br />
trappings and trimmings offered<br />
by a lively and cherished indoor<br />
neighborhood marketplace.<br />
The 23rd annual edition of the<br />
Expo will take place on Saturday,<br />
<strong>March</strong> 25th in the Northbridge<br />
High School Field House at 427<br />
Linwood Ave. in Whitinsville.<br />
Many activities will be crammed<br />
into the four hours being set aside<br />
for the production, which starts at<br />
<strong>10</strong>:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. It<br />
will be an opportunity for George<br />
Simmons to showcase the high<br />
school as a perfect venue for the<br />
Expo. Mr. Simmons is in charge of<br />
buildings and grounds for NHS.<br />
