Union County, NJ — The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders invites business owners, managers and entrepreneurs to attend the 2019 Union County Means Business Expo at the Warinanco Sports Center in Warinanco Park on Wednesday, September 18 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
“Last year the Business Expo hosted 80 vendors and 300 attendees, providing a valuable opportunity for networking and meeting peers in the business community,” said Freeholder Chair Bette Jane Kowalski. “We are looking forward to another successful event this year.”
Vendor tables for the event have been sold out this year.
Now in its fourth year, the Business Expo provides a showcase for local businesses and an opportunity to network and grow contacts within the Union County community and beyond.
Since its inception in 2016, the Expo has grown to include a wide variety of businesses and entrepreneurs including service providers, retailers, banks, insurance, real estate, technology, consulting, marketing, legal, accounting, health, education, nonprofits and government offices.
As a special service this year, the Business Expo is offering free, professional child care at the venue, through the Warinanco Sports Center Summer Camp. The service is available for children ages 4-12 and must be requested in advance by filling out the online form at ucnj.org/ucmb.
As always, the Expo will feature raffle prizes along with prizes for a “passport/autograph” contest for attendees who collect signatures from every vendor.
Rounding out the event will be food tastings featuring the menus from Ashbrook Golf Course, Galloping Hill Golf Course and the Warinanco Sports Center.
Admission for attendees is free. Preregistration for all attendees is suggested but not required, except for those requesting child care. To register as an attendee, fill out the online Attendee Registration form at ucnj.org/ucmb.
