The Grand Junction Business Incubator Center (BIC) is hosting its annual Small Business Holiday Expo from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21.
The expo serves as the BIC’s lone fundraiser, transforming the campus at 2591 Legacy Way into a “festive European marketplace”, featuring entrepreneurs and their products while setting the tone for a jolly Christmas season in the Grand Valley.
This year, the Small Business Holiday Expo is expected to feature:
More than 800 community members in attendance;
Unique holiday shopping with 20 plus local vendors;
Delicious fare from celebrated food trucks;
Live music and caroling to set the festive mood;
Dozens of silent auction items supporting local businesses that operate out of the BIC;
A special visit from Santa Claus.
New additions at this year’s Small Business Expo will include:
Horse-drawn carriage rides provided by JR’s Carriage Service;
Custom Holiday Beverages: Custom holiday spirited and non-alcoholic beverages from the beverage tent;
Max the Bull, a Charolais bull owned by Pitchfork Charolais of VanWinkle Ranch;
A silent auction will launch online Nov. 14, giving the community a head start on holiday shopping and the chance to bid early on locally donated treasures. The auction can be accessed at tinyurl.com/expo-auction.
Admission is free. To reserve a ticket, visit tinyurl.com/yc6wwv9v.
