The 2019 Casino Royale Carthage Business Expo and Home Show is officially in the books. Friday and Saturday, March 8th and 9th many of you joined us for an amazing weekend of shopping the businesses, products, and services that Carthage and the surrounding communities have to offer. I know that those of you who were there were as impressed as I was by what there was to see and do this year. Our exhibitors really brought their A games in terms of displays, decorations, activities, and give-aways.
Of course, we had the make-over from Dr. Fly’s Salon that we gave away but we also had the opportunity to give away too many booth prizes to count. The bottle auction featuring secret, surprise prizes from a selection of area businesses was a hit again this year bringing an extra bit of fun and a healthy amount of competition to the lobby.
Congratulations to the winners of the booth contests. Ajinomoto Windsor took “Best Representation of Member Business” for their signs featuring their delicious brands and samples galore throughout the weekend. Thanks to their giant dice and casino style games, Southwest Missouri Bank won “Best Use of Theme”. Rounding out the event’s winners, ServPro was voted “People’s Choice”, no doubt due to their arm-wrestling main event, slot machine, poker chips counting game, and adorable decoration on their filter units.
Thanks again to our Spotlight Sponsors Mercy Hospital Carthage, SNC Squared, and Travel Inspirations, Business After Hours Sponsors Carthage Marine Transport, Halo Salon, and J Builders, and the Fathers of the CRM for helping us to offer the Business Expo and Home Show to our community.
