CANTON — After a three-year hiatus, the North Country KIDS EXPO returned to the Roos House at SUNY Canton on Saturday, March 11.

Kids and families experienced a fun day filled with activities, play zones, on-site demonstrations. Information from local businesses, organizations and vendors were available to families.

The event was hosted by the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce.

This year’s North Country Kids Expo included the launch of KID BIZ for young people to host a booth and pitch their product or service.

“As a chamber, we are always working with our partners to encourage entrepreneurship in the up-and-coming generations. This is a productive and fun opportunity to spark excitement for young and emerging entrepreneurs and give them a chance to learn and develop their business thinking” stated Ben Dixon, executive director of the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce.
