Local Business Expo Coming To Avon Lake In July

AVON LAKE, OH — The 8th annual North Coast Business Expo will return to Avon Lake on July 15.

The event will be held at Ahern's Banquet Center, 726 Avon Belden Road. The expo is free and open to the public, and will feature a number of local businesses all displaying their products and services.

Attendees will have the chance to take home giveaways, win raffles, enjoy music and entertainment, and sample food from local restaurants.

“The Business Expo presents a tremendous opportunity for our many local businesses, who have faithfully weathered the pandemic storm, to get reacquainted with consumers who are anxious to get back to normal life,” said Ted Esborn, economic development director for Avon Lake. “We're very happy to work with the North Coast Chamber to provide companies with a centralized venue to showcase their offerings and help grow their businesses.”

A portion of the proceeds from the Expo will be donated to the Avon/Avon Lake Community Resources Services (CRS), a community-based group dedicated to diminishing the effects of poverty. Community Resources Services is located in Beach Park Station, 33479 Lake Road, Suite C.

Businesses can still register to exhibit at the Expo by visiting the North Coast Chamber website and scrolling down to the Expo link. Exhibit space costs $150 per six-foot table and includes a special exhibitor-only networking hour prior to the 3:00 p.m. public opening.

Avon Lake and the North Coast Chamber are also looking for sponsors for the Expo. Sponsors receive exposure during the Expo and marketing leading up to the event, free exhibit space, links on Avon Lake social media channels, and spotlight time on the stage during the Expo.
