Parktowne Expo “Spring 2010” Edgewater

Posted on May 28th, 2010

The 1st Annual Edgewater Parktowne Expo took place last Saturday and completed the kick off to a major Edgewater Business Annual Event. With over 65 booths occupied by 54 local vendors the response was fantastic!

A beautiful day with a cool breeze made for a festive event amongst the ponds and trees surrounding the Parktowne Industrial Center in Edgewater. Participants from local retail, manufacturing, services, financial establishments, and non-profit organizations complimented on a successful day.

The day started at 8:30 am with a special tribute to our Armed Forces presented by Post 285 Honor Guard and the VFW 4250 Honor Guard. Following the Ceremony was Edgewater Councilman, Ted Cooper and SEV Chamber President, Sue Williams with opening speeches.

An estimated crowd of 600 people enjoyed the family activities to include a petting zoo, live entertainment, remote boating, and much more. Most exhibitors had give aways and door prizes to include special drawings by the Edgewater Rotary and the SEV Chamber of Commerce!

Volusia County Economic Board members were on hand to support the event and participated in the exhibition. Hosted by the Expo Committee made up of local business leaders, SEV Chamber of Commerce and the Edgewater Economic Development Board all combined to make a successful event.

Attendees and exhibitors both inquired about next years event and the move forward to make this Expo a annual impact on the local knowledge of what Edgewater really has to offer the community!
