Ferndale Chamber hosting job, business expo

FERNDALE - With the success of last year's Ferndale Job Expo, the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Ferndale Expo, which will include the job expo and a new business expo.

The one-day event, free to attendees, will be Thursday, Oct. 29, at the newly remodeled Ferndale Events Center, former location of Emerald Bay Events and Bingo 262.

The job expo, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., will showcase employers looking to fill positions in the near future. The Ferndale Chamber is coordinating with WorkSource to offer job-seeker workshops.

The business expo, from 4 to 8 p.m., will introduce businesses to the Ferndale business and general community. The Ferndale Chamber will host a Business After Hours from 6 to 8 p.m. Also during the expo, the chamber will be holding a wine tasting with the few remaining bottles of 2009 Street Festival wine.

Registration information can be found at online at expo262.com. All businesses, nonprofits and organizations from Whatcom County are invited to participate. Discounts are available for Ferndale Chamber members and to businesses that exhibit at both expos.
