Local Businesses, Local Connections at June 11 Expo

Whether you're a business owner looking to make new connections or a resident curious about what products and services are available right here in White County, the upcoming Business After Hours Expo offers an opportunity to do both.

First National Bank, in partnership with the Sparta-White County Chamber of Commerce, will host the annual Business After Hours Expo on Thursday, June 11, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

While the event serves as a networking opportunity for local business owners, executives and professionals, organizers stress that it is also designed for the public. Community members are invited to visit with dozens of local businesses and organizations, learn more about the products and services they offer, explore career and volunteer opportunities, and make connections with the people behind those businesses.

The expo typically features more than 50 booths, giving attendees the chance to discover everything from local services and nonprofits to retail businesses and professional organizations—all under one roof.

In addition to meeting local business leaders, guests can enjoy hors d’oeuvres, drinks and informal networking throughout the evening.

Admission to the event is a monetary donation benefiting The Help Center, making it an opportunity to support a local cause while learning more about the business community.

Businesses interested in participating still have time to reserve booth space. According to organizers, several spots remain available. Those interested in registering or learning more can contact Mindy Copeland at 931-836-3552.

The annual event continues to serve as a valuable way to strengthen connections between local businesses and the community they serve while helping residents discover resources and opportunities available close to home.
