The sixth annual Business Expo was full of music, food and freebies at Rozar Park in Perry.

Over Thirty businesses from banks to restaurants lined up to showcase their goods and hand out prizes. Even a flash mob showed up to entertain.

 
Rob Brooks, Chairman of Perry's Chamber of Commerce says the expo is great for business in the city.

"Some of these businesses really operate a lot of the time either out of their vehicles or online so this kind of gives them an opportunity once a year to have a store front where they can show off what they have going on. " explains Brooks.

Russ Creamer, Area Manager for Blue Ribbon Foods, says expos like the one in Perry are how he gains customers.

Lynn Pulos says she comes every year because she likes the vendors and company.

Sean Halpin's family opened up their Pizzeria, PHAT Boys, less than a year ago and he says the expos helps get their name out there.
