BEDFORD – The Women’s Expo took place last Saturday and was a great time to explore products and services from businesses both near and far. The first one hundred attendees received a Women’s Expo Swag Bag filled with several sample items, coupons and more. The attendees look forward to get the swag bag full of goodies and to see the new design, as it changes year after year.
There were several new vendors who attended this year’s expo among the more than 60 vendors. A few of the new vendors to the Women’s Expo this year included Looped, Cutco Cutlery, KBH Creative Events, Hoosier Power Wash, Dream Destinations Travel Agency, Jax + Ash Boutique, Good Vibes, C2C Escapes Travel and The Law Office of Alex Robbins.
“It is awesome to see this many women come out and all in one place, especially after COVID,” said Evie Phelps, of Evie’s Craft Room.
After a long panedemic year and after attending past Women’s Expos, this year’s event the vendors were eager to particpate and take part in all the fun. The traditional event generally occurs in March, but was pushed back to July, in hopes Covid -19 regulations would ease and a vaccine would be available to allow for a safe event. “I got to visit last year and decorate a couple of booths. I saw how amazing this event really is and decided I wanted to be part of it this year,” said Terri Horne who is representing Horne Financial Coaching, and Networking Today International Bedford.

“This is my first year at the Expo, we are a new business. We just opened up in November of last year and we are just wanting to get the word out.
