Expo for Her
Fourth Annual expo for her October 16 & 17, 2009 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center
October 16 - 2-9pm
October 17 - 9am - 5pm
The expo for her will be two days of shopping, fun, entertainment and pampering - designed specifically for women of all ages. It is not a home show. It is not a craft show. It is an expo where attendees can shop and enjoy fantastic seminars and a huge array of exhibits representing areas of health, food, wine, fashion, home decor, cosmetics, fitness, entertainment, finance, career, art and more.
Watch as local chefs and dietitians prepare dishes - and sample the delicious results - on the Cooking Stage.
The expo for her is also a one-stop holiday shopping location. There will be over 200 booths of vendors selling jewelry, purses, shoes, home decor, pampering products, gift items, books, art and more. This two day event is a get-a-way for girlfriends and families, and the timing couldn't be better - the expo for her is being held during South Dakota's opening pheasant hunting weekend.
So, grab your girlfriends, your mom, your daughter, and of course, your purse, and make a weekend of the etc. expo for her!
First 200 attendees each day receive a gift bag full of free items!
Only $4 admission — or just $3 per day with a canned good or used or new coat for a child or adult. Let’s keep Sioux Falls warm and fill the Food Pantry
Gift Bags
• The first 200 adults (18 and older) receive a free gift bag each day. The bags are given on a first come, first served basis. The line usually starts to form approximately 2-3 hours prior to the start time of the expo. So, if you want a bag, you will need to come early!
If you would like to participate and host a booth of your own, please email us at etc.mag@sio.midco.net or call Angela at (605) 351-5515.
