(Seguin) — This year’s business expo at the Seguin Coliseum welcomed dozens and dozens of potential customers. Showcase Seguin is hosted annually by the Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce.
Sharing Thursday night’s success was Chamber President Chester Jenke.
“I think it was awesome. The feedback from the vendors was really really good. The number of people that stopped at each of the booths and had a conversation with our local businesses I think is just kind of over the top, much more than what most of them expected,” said Jenke.
This year’s business expo featured 48 booths. Registration also estimates close to 600 people were in attendance.
Jenke says the hope is for folks to consider booth participants before seeking goods and services elsewhere.
“Ultimately, we are trying to get you to stay and shop local and if you didn’t find something you need here tonight, definitely take a look at those other folks that are in town. We had vendors here from every walk and every talk inside the Seguin area here. If you wanted food, if you wanted banking, if you wanted life insurance, if you wanted mortuary, I mean we had all of that here tonight,” said Jenke.
Adding to the fun was this year’s theme Toyland.
The decorated booths offered prize giveaways, samples and other small gifts to those who stopped by.
Jenke says the top creative booths also walked away as winners. This year’s winners include First Place, Guadalupe Regional Medical Center and its Barbie theme. Second Place was the Seguin Gazette with its Mario Brothers décor and Third Place went to Seguin Radio KWED and the Seguin Daily News with its KWED R US theme.
Chamber officials say they again appreciate all those who participated and are already planning for next year.
