Preparations continue for the Parkland Business Expo, set for May 3rd and 4th at the Parkland Rec Complex.
Dauphin's Countryfest has taken over management of the event, and Rod Carberry says it is a natural fit for them to do so.
"It is a great reminder to our community that Countryfest is a community-first organization. We are really good at event planning and this keeps us fine-tuned and focused throughout the year. Countryfest is a year-round project but having these projects also helps you connect with different vendors and different opportunities and different things that may be a good Countryfest fit down the line too."
Carberry says they wanted to keep the template from previous business expos, adding they did not want to shake things up too much in their first year.
He adds they are approximately 90 per cent full for the expo, adding the event will continue to have a diverse list of exhibitors.
Any business interested in taking part can get more information through Countryfest's website.
