ST. JOSEPH, Mo. –The Josephine Expo for women is set for Saturday, October 3, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the St. Joseph Civic Arena.
The Expo is an annual event now in its eleventh year and is an extension of the magazine Josephine.
“The Josephine Expo is a day for area women, giving them an opportunity to shop, to talk to local vendors, organizations and homebased businesses facetoface, to to grab a bite to eat and to be entertained,” said Carole Dunn, Expo coordinator.
This year’s theme, “A salute to her!,” will give the Expo a vintage patriotic feel.
Both floors of the Civic Arena will be filled with an array of booths, including ones from retail shops, service providers, nonprofits and homebased merchants. The food court will include some new options this year.
“We have many returning favorites but also a number of new vendors, which should make for a fun show this year and one you won’t want to miss,” Ms. Dunn said. “The Expo is also a part of First Saturdays Downtown, so you’ll be able to make a full day out of coming down here.”
New to the Expo this year will be two sessions of make and take art, at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., led by The Wooden Nickell Studio artist Megan Thomas. No artistic skill is needed. Sessions will be by a $15 suggested donation to the Griffey School for the Arts, to help cover costs.
