A Recap of our 70th Annual Business & Industry Night!
Chamber members and community professionals gathered at the 70th Annual Business & Industry Night on October 6th at the Penn Harris Hotel. The main ballroom was full of business exhibitors showcasing their products and services while engaging with attendees through this year’s theme, “The 70s”!
Many exhibitors embodied the theme in their groovy outfits while others played games at their booth with the attendees encouraging them to join in the fun. For the first time in three years, the event was back and full of excitement as attendees were able to interact with many of the exhibitors’ booths with fun games and prizes.
Messiah University won the Best In Show award, voted on by the attendees due to their Dorm Room from The ’70s including a record player, photos from the era, and a university letter jacket.
Precision Training Concepts won Best Use of Theme with their exercise-themed booth including equipment straight from the 70s. They even had a Belt Massager!
and the award for Best Sales Approach went to Landmark Commercial Realty, with their photo props and getting people into their booth to take pictures,
Best Use of Theme and Best Sales Approach were voted on by a secret panel of judges, while Best in Show was voted on by all attendees. This year’s Miss Pennsylvania, Alysa Bainbridge, drew Leah Connor’s business card from Messiah University for the evening’s door prize. She was presented with a Frederique Constant Watch provided by Mountz Jewelers.
The Chamber would like to thank the many member exhibitors, our volunteers, Brittany Conrad Photography, and the Business & Industry Night Committee who worked all year on planning this fantastic event!
