    The Lebanon Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its first annual business expo, September 17, 2011.  This was a way to offer something of extra value to the members of the Chamber of Commerce.

    The event was held at the Cowin Civic Center and you would have thought that they had been doing this for years.  It was a smashing success by all accounts.  The event was free to the public and with 100 booths showcasing a wide variety of what Lebanon, Missouri’s businesses have to offer, there was something for just about everyone.

    There was food to purchase, raffles to be won and business to be conducted.  There were even several booths offering on the spot massages and one booth giving away all of the cash you could collect in a given period of time.

    This event is sure to grow over the coming years and everyone should make plans to attend next year.
