The new event will take place in the city’s new Innovation Depot, the former Sears building. Music for the evening will be provided by The Spots.

It’s free to attend, but so they have an idea of how many to expect, RSVP to http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/alison516@aol.com/YPExpo or send an e-mail to Alison Howell of the Regional Chamber of Commerce. It’s a great way to start what promises to be a busy weekend.
