“The Community Expo was created to help residents learn of the products and services offered in the community,” explains Keloryn Putnam, Executive Director of the Orland Park Area Chamber of Commerce.  “It benefits everyone to keep shopping dollars local.  The Expo is a great way for them to learn what is available.”

The Expo will include a morning full of entertainment and activities for the whole family.  Radio Disney and other local groups will be providing entertainment.  The Culinary Corner will return with local restaurants providing samples and the Classic Car Show will appeal to car buffs.  The ever popular Kids Fair Extraordinaire, organized by Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital, will offer fun, health related, hands-on activities for children.  A raffle will give residents the chance to purchase raffle tickets to win the prizes donated by the exhibitors.

   “Come on out and spend the morning with us,” Putnam encourages.  “There will be raffle prizes, face painting and clowns and Advocate’s Kids Faire is always great fun with their many activities for the kids.  Try small food sample from our local restaurants at the Culinary Corner section and there is a Classic Car show for car buffs.  We will even have a visit from Ronald McDonald!”
