Business Expo offering something for everyone

Published on Tuesday, 18 April 2023 07:43

About 100 exhibitors will be on hand for the 32nd Kin Club Business Expo, Saturday and Sunday at the Parkland Recreation Complex.

The exhibitors will be spread throughout Credit Union Place, the curling rink and the walking track, as well as the facility’s hallways.

Expo organizer Daniel Pylypchuk of the Dauphin Kin Club added there is free admission.

“We’ve had free admission for the last little while and we still have people thinking it’s a pay gate. But, no, it’s free admission,” he said, adding there will be 50-50 tickets sold during the event in lieu of a pay gate.

Pylypchuk said there is a large number of new businesses which will be part of the expo this year.

“Everytime I look on Facebook, it’s one of these new businesses, and a couple of the older businesses that have been at the expo the last few years, they’re advertising all over on Facebook, which is great, because it’s not just our club that’s promoting it, but the exhibitors themselves have taken it on. They want to make this, not just a show, but a large event,” he said.

The expo is a fund-raiser for the Kin Club of Dauphin, which will donate the proceeds to groups and organizations around the city.

The expo is open, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m.

Pylypchuk noted one food vendor which has been part of the expo since the start will not be in attendance this year, but two other vendors will take the place of the original vendor.

There will also be a small animal and bird sale, Sunday at the Rotary Arena, with doors opening at noon and the sale starting at 1 p.m.

Because they have the space for it, Pylypchuk said they will take entries for the sale up until sale time.
