According to Michelle Hessling, publisher of the four newspapers co-sponsoring this event, “We are so happy to be working with The Dime Bank and Bold Gold again this year and to be bringing this very popular event back to Lake Wallenpaupack. I anticipate that the 2010 Expo is going to be bigger and better than ever. We are really excited to have The News Eagle on board with us this year, as well as all of the vendors, both new and loyal.” Hessling added, “We couldn’t do this without the cooperation from the Wallenpaupack School District. It is really a pleasure to work with them and it is so convenient that they are located, right here on the Big Lake.”
Admission is free, with plenty of parking. The one-day event will provide ample display areas for all businesses — large and small and each attendee is automatically entered to win free door prizes, which will be awarded during the hourly drawings.
Refreshments will be available for purchase and the proceeds from sales will benefit the Wallenpaupack Softball Booster Club.
