Over 50 vendors are expected to be showcasing their products Sunday at the Your Special Day Expo in Ogdensburg sponsored by Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell.
The event, previously known as a bridal expo, has been rebranded this year since many of the vendors cater to a number of special events ranging from weddings to graduation and anniversary parties.
The expo will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Building 11 at 820 Commerce Park Drive in the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority complex.
"We have a diverse group of vendors again this year. Many of the vendors have joined us at our previous expos, and I am also pleased to see some new businesses will be joining us," Assemblywoman Russell said.
She noted this year's event has attracted vendors from St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Franklin counties.
"This expo is an opportunity to promote local businesses that provide merchandise or services for special events and also provides an opportunity for area residents to find all of those vendors under one roof. Nearly every type of service and plenty of gift options for any special occasion will be on display at this year's expo," Assemblywoman Russell said.
This year's vendors list includes everything from event planners, photographers and a tent rental firm to a bridal shop and jewelers and from wineries to a Clayton-based islands tour company. A number of vendors selling craft and gift items will also have booths at the event.
A fashion show is slated for 2:30 p.m. Sunday followed by a cake dive with cash prizes for brides to be.
There will also be an opportunity to receive items donated by vendors for the Passport program. Attendees need to purchase their Passport at the door and visit participating vendors for a chance at these gifts.
