he Dauphin Kin Club’s annual business expo proved to be a hit with attendees and vendors alike.

Kin Club secretary and expo chair Candice Taylor said there were 103 different vendors this year.

“We had a lot of return vendors, but we also had 20 or 30 new vendors that have never been to the expo before. So it was great to have a variety,” she said, adding the weekend went well. “Everything went really smoothly. We love and appreciate all the vendors that come in and support our community. Without them we wouldn’t be able to have an expo. It was great to see such a good flow of traffic throughout the weekend. The patrons were really great. We never had any issues, so it was wonderful.”

Among the highlights were the Kin Bar, which was something new, as well as children’s entertainer Doodles the Clown.

Overall, Taylor said it was a wonderful weekend.

“It was a lot of hard work. A lot of blood and sweat goes into it. But overall, I’ve had a lot of positive feedback from the vendors and that’s our goal, is to promote our community, promote vendors and have a good sense of community. It was awesome.”
