2012 Business Expo - a smashing success!

The Board and Staff of the Terrace & District Chamber of Commerce want to say 'thank you' to all of our Sponsors & Exhibitors that participated in this year's show; your participation created the most successful show we have had in years!

 

A shout out to our corporate Sponsors - AltaGas, Imperial Metals, Valard Construction & Prince Rupert Port Authority; to our Prize sponsors - Canadian Tire & LiveSmart BC - Small Business; & to our media sponsors - Astral Media and CFNR Classic Rock, thank you to everyone!

 

Also, a thank you to Easyhome and Aqua Clear in donating the furniture and water for the Exhibitor's Lounge.

 

To our 84 Exhibitors...many thanks for making the investment of time and labour in your show, this is what it is all about, the region coming together to make a show that has value, information and fun things to learn and do. What a great mix of exhibitors we had from Prince George to Prince Rupert....a sure sign of the exciting times that are ahead of us!

 

To the Skeena Valley Rotary Club for manning the doors and ensuring everyone got their ballots for the grand prize draw and to the Caledonia Dry Grad & Prom committee for assisting with the set up and tear down.

 

A special thanks to all the entertainers that volunteered their time to showcase what amazing talent we have in our community & to Sight & Sound for managing this portion of the show.

And last but not least, to the some 4500 people that attended the 2012 Trade Expo. You make it all worthwhile. "If there's no audience there just ain't no show".
