Limited tickets still required for annual trade show
(Seguin) – The Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce is inviting you to step out of this world for a night of business and fun.
The chamber will be hosting its annual Showcase Seguin event on Thursday, Feb. 9 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Seguin Coliseum.
Chamber President Chester Jenke says the community is invited to come out and learn more about products, services and opportunities that exist among its members.
This year, however, the event for the very first time will be free. Jenke says although free, folks will still need to obtain a ticket for entry into the showcase.
“The theme is A Space Odyssey, so you’ll find some of your favorite aliens, your Martians and etc. there. This is a free event this year to the public but you have to have a ticket to enter. Registration is open now and the QR code can be found on the chamber’s website, and we prefer that those that want to attend to register before February 6 but there are some limited number of tickets that are available after the sixth from the chamber office. They would just have to call and they can talk to the chamber staff. Our number here is 830-379-6382 for assistance after Feb. 6 or for those limited number of tickets,” said Jenke.
Jenke says he hopes that doing away with the cost will allow even more folks to come out and see all the great things that Seguin businesses have to offer.
“Before, the event was a pay to play kind of event or pay to attend kind of event and so to increase our amount of foot traffic for our chamber members, the committee said let’s just make this a free event. It still has some of the same booths and etc. that are inside so this is the first year that it is free,” said Jenke.
Jenke says the most important part is that Showcase Seguin is full of fun.
“Kind of the way that it works is you walk through the door and you kind of get surprised by the number of folks that are there. It is set up as a trade show. So, most of the businesses that will be there will have what their goods and services are, what kind of opportunities do they have for their customers and then, at the end of the night, there’s a silent auction and we will announce those winners. We will also have some booth competitions, booth decorations so if you’ve never been before and you haven’t’ seen the extravagant booths that these folks put on, they are pretty good so you don’t want to miss that part of it. Skip around and see whose got the best booth this year,” said Jenke.
Jenke says a few booth spots are also still available for those members looking to get into the action and night of fun.
“We also do have a few booths that are still available. We have a couple of food vendor booths as well as a couple of premier or regular booths that are available to chamber members and they can call Katie here at the chamber for that information,” said Jenke.
