The show will have over 60 businesses on hand for people to check out. Plus, a bounce house for the kids, carnival-style games, and more. Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce's Roseann Baisley says the expo continues to grow:

"At the end of the day, our goal is for the area communities to get to know our local businesses and non-profits and any of our vendors that come in because that's what we are here for is to help them and get their face and name and their business in front of people."

She says they have strived to make it an area event with businesses from Cold Spring, Richmond, Rockville, and even Waite Park. Baisley says there will be plenty for the kids to do too:

"Some of our businesses that are vendors will ofter do bean bag toss or the spin the wheel those types of activities right at their booth so I don't know exactly which games they'll all have but I know that our vendors often have fun activities or ways to win prizes right at their booth."
