The Chamber Connection
“Bringing it downtown,” the Warwick Valley Chamber of Commerce will host the tenth anniversary of the Community Showcase on May 20 in the heart of downtown Warwick, NY. The event will be held 10am to 5pm, with a rain date of Sunday, May 21. The rain date will only be used in case of a torrential rain storm. This year, we’ll let the Village of Warwick be the backdrop for our popular program as our members line Main Street and Railroad Ave. Come join us for an open air festival where businesses showcase what they have to offer each other and the community! The Showcase is great for both store-front and home-based businesses, providing a vibrant celebration of local products and services as well as networking opportunities for participants, while benefiting from the natural flow of visitors that visit downtown.
Members must register by Friday, May 12. The registration fee is $100 for chamber members and $125 plus membership fees for non-members. The non-member fee includes a one year chamber membership. Non-profit organizations are invited to exhibit. They are eligible for the special non-profit rate of $50 along with the non-profit non-member membership fee.
Experience the event which showcases the “Who’s Who” in the Warwick Valley area business community—where you’re able to make face-to-face contact with potential customers and fellow vendors. Host demonstrations to get hands-on interactions with customers at your booth! It’s a great opportunity to market and sell products and services. Features of the Community Showcase include having a 10' x 8' space allotted per business. Come prepared! There will be an exhibitor “Pre-Show Vendor to Vendor” opportunity from 9am to 10am the day of show. Scheduled demonstrations may be booked on Railroad Green for those who want to perform for the public. The Warwick Valley Chamber encourages and supports new and existing businesses, offers professional opportunities in the area, facilitates new partnerships, offers networking, social and educational opportunities, and promotes business growth. Please call Michael Johndrow, Executive Director, at (845) 986-2720 or go to our website www.warwickcc.org/EXPO to register.
