"I’ve participated in the Business Showcase since I opened my business in 1995. It provides an opportunity for me to meet and greet other business people in a friendly, supportive environment. I often find new volume clients from areas I hadn’t considered before. I’ve experienced great sales from follow up to business owners I have met at the Showcase. Plus, since the Showcase is a key event for the Chamber, it helps to strengthen the Chamber and contribute to a strong local economy."   - Jerry Tallman, Minuteman Press
