North Country Kids Expo slated for March 16 in Canton

Posted

CANTON -- The St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce will host its 2nd annual North Country Kids Expo on Saturday, March 16, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the newly renovated Roos House Athletic Center at SUNY Canton.

Last year’s inaugural event was attended by over 800 people who had the opportunity to meet local businesses, organizations, and vendors who cater to families.

“This year’s expo will be a fun day for families, with play zones for kids and on-site demonstrations. Experts and representatives will be sharing resources and information for families, ranging from health care to after-school activities to regional attractions,” said event coordinator Jo Ann Roberts.

The chamber started this annual event as an initiative to give businesses, vendors, camps, and organizations the opportunity to showcase the fun and engaging activities as well the vital resources and services they have to offer to families and children throughout the North Country region.

This year’s show is taking place before spring break, providing more time for parents to plan their spring summer activities with the valuable resources and information learned at the expo.

Highlights from the inaugural event last year included the Nicandri Nature Center (Massena), Frederick Remington Art Museum (Ogdensburg), North Country Children's Museum (Potsdam), face painting, day care centers, as well as a variety of summer camps and educational opportunities.

The chamber is currently recruiting vendors, organizations and businesses for the event.

Booth fees are $60 for chamber members and $80 for non-chamber members.

If interested in being a vendor at the North Country Kids Expo, visit SLCchamber.org for the registration packet and more information or contact Roberts at 315 386-4000 or by email, jo@slcchamber.org.
