Chamber hosts Fall Business Expo
As it does every year, the Sun City Center Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed both year-round visitors and snowbirds to its annual Fall Business Expo Oct. 4 at Community Hall. More than 1,000 visitors turned out for the four-hour event, in which 85 business and nonprofit members took part.
The Florida Treasure Hunters once again found “lost” money for several area residents, while former Detroit Tigers catcher Mike Heath signed autographs, posed for pictures and showed off his championship rings.
Riverchase Dermatology provided free skin cancer screenings and the SCC Emergency Squad, free blood pressure checks. TECO was busy signing folks up for free energy audits, and Sun Towers served its legendary chocolate brownies.
“I’m already looking forward to our Spring Trade Show next April 4,” said Lynne Conlan, the chamber’s executive director. “We had a nice steady crowd and some great vendors that included new faces as well as our regulars.”
