The Crystal Lake Home & Business EXPO was a huge success!

Now in its 31st year, the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce's Home & Business EXPO brought another exciting and jam-packed weekend to Crystal Lake South High School. Over 140 area businesses and organizations were on on the show floor exhibiting their goods and services.

Over 4,000 attendees visited the EXPO to support these local businesses, and support our local economy.  They had the opportunity to meet many community leaders and civic organizations who are making a difference in our community.  Everyone had a chance to meet someone special like your local county and state representatives, policemen, firemen or your local librarian.  There were also exhibitors on hand to help with all your remodeling ,banking and health & wellness needs.  
 
Cafe EXPO featured local gourmet eats like tasty Georgio's Chicago Pizzeria & Pub individual pizza, Galloway's Chicago Sub Shop sandwiches, Morkes Chocolates delectable candies and gourmet coffee from Caffeination Station.

WIN!  Everyone received some great items from local businesses, plus every 100th person won a door prize!  Another exciting event is the EXPO raffle featuring:
