LAKEPORT – A rainy Sunday gave local businesses a chance to get together, make connections, and introduce and promote their products to community members.

The first Around the Lake Business Expo was held Sunday in the Little Theater at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport.

The expo hosted 25 vendors, including Featherbed Railroad Bed and Breakfast, Twin Pine Casino, Westamerica and Wells Fargo banks, Lakeport's Radio Shack, Sandi's Interiors, Penny Lane Thrift Shoppe, Curves, Harbor House Espresso, A Gift Horse, The Virtuous Woman, Serenity Massage and Day Spa, Kendra's Tax Preparation, C & G Enterprises, Pampered Chef, Partylite Candles, Totally Pawsome, Innovated Marketing Trading Company, and the Hue de la Roque Farm.

Karen Long and Kendra Runyon of Big Diva Promotions put on the show as a way of giving local businesses a late-winter boost. Long and Runyon said they felt the event went well.

The day saw numerous visitors come through the expo's doors, winning door prizes and receiving sample products from vendors.
