The Waterford Chamber of Commerce has had to cancel its annual fall Expo, even after attempts to find alternative ways to hold the event, such as moving it outdoors and meeting health and safety requirements.
They still plan to provide an online promotional venue for those who would have been involved in the Expo. The Chamber recently posted about the need to cancel the event on their website.
“When the pandemic first hit, we had no idea the executive orders would still be in effect over 6 months later,” the Chamber posted. “Our thoughts were that, over time, restraints would lighten and we would be back to business as usual. None of us anticipated things would actually get worse and more restrictive.”
The Chamber will roll over exhibitor fees to the 2021 Expo for those participants who choose that option, including them in an online effort, which will include a Support Local Expo website, promotion through Facebook and Instagram, and promotion in the Chamber’s WACC News.
