The Granville County Convention and Expo Center will transform into a one-stop shopping venue for the upcoming Wedding and Events Expo on Saturday, Mar. 4 .
Angela Allen, Granville County Tourism Development Authority director, said the event will be a perfect opportunity for anyone looking for ideas as they plan special events, from birthday celebrations to weddings.
A variety of vendors will be on hand from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to talk with prospective clients who may be looking for a venue, photographer, florists and much more. Tickets are $10 per person; pre-registration is recommended. To purchase tickets or learn more, visit https://visitgranvillenc.com/whats-happening/weddings-events/ .
Allen said vendors will be on hand representing event venues, caterers, event rental companies, invitation designers, balloon artists, photographers, makeup professionals, hair stylists, accommodation options, dessert makers, event planners and florists.
Volunteers are needed to help set up and clean up, parking, registration and other tasks that go along with such a big project, Allen said. High school students 16 years or older who need to earn community hours may sign up to volunteer here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0a4aaeac23aafc1-volunteers#/
