Congratulations go out to the New Tampa Chamber of Commerce, which hosted a highly successful Business Expo and annual meeting at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites on September 26.
More than 30 Chamber member businesses took part in the Expo, where everything from new area banks to Avon products to a newly opened boxing-for-fitness gym were on display for an estimated crowd of more than 200 attendees.
In addition, outstanding free Mediterranean food — and plenty of it — was provided by the Little Greek restaurant in the New Tampa Center plaza, and Bruster’s Real Ice Cream and Toast Café & Wine Bar (both on BBD) provided delicious ice cream and a selection of fine wines to sample, respectively.
“We’re always happy when people show up to these events,” said Chamber VP Neil Heird. “We signed up six new members today!”
Heird also attributed the success of this year’s Expo to the return to the Holiday Inn Express itself. “We really need to thank the hotel and its entire staff for being so hospitable,” he said. “Plus, it’s easier to get people to walk into a hotel for an event than it is at a private country club.”
