Handcrafters Gift Gala: November 6 Friday, October 23, 2009
The holiday season is rapidly approaching and gift-giving is soon to follow. To kick things off, seven local artisans and their unique Chattanooga-made products will be featured at the Handcrafters Gift Gala on November 6.
From 10:00am until 7:30pm at the Business Development Center on Cherokee Boulevard, all Chattanoogans are invited to view a showcase of local craftsmanship, enjoy some hors d’oeuvres and even pick up a few goodies from the vendors: Alchemy Spice Company, Cabeen Originals, Everyday Eclectic, The Hot Chocolatier, Lesha Patterson Photography, McGowan and McClain and BML, Inc. From chocolate truffles to custom woodworking, the Gala promises an enjoyable opportunity to purchase remarkable local products, big and small, directly from their manufacturers, and maybe win a gift basket in a live drawing.
The founders of these small businesses, many of whom graduated from the SpringBoard Business Planning Course, are to be commended for their ongoing contributions to the local economy and community. Their high-quality products, among many others, are establishing a wonderful selection of local goods, helping to drive economic growth here in the Scenic City.
For more information, contact the Business Development Center at 423-413-5897.
