The folks at Daylight Donuts touted their new store on Cleveland Highway.
The city of Dalton showed off ideas for the revitalization of different parts of town.
North Georgia Toyota displayed two hybrid cars.
Showing off products and services was one of the themes at the Dalton-Whitfield Chamber of Commerce’s seventh annual Business Expo on Thursday. Several hundred attendees browsed 88 exhibitor booths at the Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center.
Beth Morrison, the chamber’s vice president of member services, said this year’s event was the most well attended Expo ever. There were a few changes this year.
The first Cookout on the Hill was held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The free lunch had been offered in the chamber’s parking lot during the Cookout on the Corner event for the past 13 years in conjunction with National Small Business Week. Chamber officials thought bringing the two events together this year would help both.
Also, the Expo, dubbed this year the Eco-Expo, had a “green” theme that featured companies that offer environmentally friendly products or services.
“We’ve got it all,” Morrison said. “I think the Eco-Expo went very well. You can learn anything from installing solar panels on your home or business to eco-friendly ways to market your company. We’ve got a couple of hybrid cars from Toyota here that are very interesting. US Floors is here with their recyclable floors that are so cool. We’re very exited about the turnout.”
Joel Hudson recently opened an Edward Jones investment firm at Walnut Creek Plaza in Dalton, so being able to get his name out to so many people was a plus.
“It’s a really great event,” said Hudson, who shared a booth with fellow Edward Jones representative Tate O’Gwin. “Not only do you get to see a lot of other businesses and what they’re doing, but we’re also able to get our name out to the public, and that’s something everyone here wants to accomplish.”
