2022 Chamber Business Expo |
|
The Tifton-Tift County Chamber of Commerce successfully brought back our Tifton-Tift County Business Expo after more then 12 years of not hosting it. We had a lot of help from a lot of people to put together this wonderful event, particularly our Board and Ambassadors, our Chamber members, and an extremely supportive community. We are looking forward to our next Business Expo in April 2023 and expect it to be bigger and better! If you missed it, we had a great time!
We want to give a big thank you to our major sponsors: Tifton Coca-Cola, Prince Automotive Group, Acres & Oak Kitchen, Heatcraft, Southwell, Atlantic & Southern, and Camole Mexican Grill, y'all are rockstars, and the event would not have been possible without you! We also wanted to thank all of our vendors for making the Business Expo the awesomely fun time it was!

Thank you to all of our media partners for promoting and covering the event: Hayward Fowler with the Fun Channel, Frank & Bonnie Sayles with the Tifton Grapevine, Alicia Lewis with WALB, Davis Cobb with The Tifton Gazette, and Fox 31.
We also wanted to thank Downtown Tifton, Tifton Tourism, Tift County, Tifton Mainstreet and the Downtown Development Authority for promoting our events and supporting us in so many ways! Thank you to the staff at the UGA Tifton Campus Conference Center, our caterers BJ Smith Events & Catering and Cynthia Harrison and Karla Anne Hargett with Southern Caterers, the sound and DJ services of Shannon from DJ Daniel Parrish; they all put the event over the top!
Congratulations to all of our door prize winners! We ended up giving away close to 75 door prizes last night, so thank you again to all of our vendors for providing those and making people's day!
