Duluth Women’s Expo Next Saturday at the DECC Lundeen Productions will present the 2nd Annual Duluth Women’s Expo at the DECC on Saturday, March 6th , 2010. This year the Duluth Women’s Expo will feature several new and exciting “touches.” In addition to the nearly 100 exhibitors, the Women’s Expo will feature a runway fashion show in Pioneer Hall at 1:00PM featuring clothing from maurices and dressbarn. The show’s theme is “Another Year of Birthdays” and is in partnership with the American Cancer Society. Regional “celebrities” and daughters as well as cancer survivors will model the fashions. As a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society VIP Round tables will be available on either side of the runway that groups and businesses may purchase for $200 each with proceeds, in part, going to the American Cancer Society. Each table can hold eight people and cake and coffee will be served at the tables. Table numbers are limited and can be reserved in advance by calling 218-727-1177. Regular theater seating will also be available at the show at no charge. The Engwall’s Garden Café is also a new addition to Pioneer Hall and will be European style open café with trees, green plants, cut flower arrangements and more. Representatives from Engwall’s will be on hand all day conducting “Ask the Expert” sessions covering everything from arranging flowers for your personal use to making your own container gardens and much more. With spring right around the corner the Engwall’s Garden Café will be a huge hit! Food and beverages will be available from the DECC including items from their popular Cappuccino Cart. As part of the expo experience you can visit the Women's Business Network Destination Station presented by the Northeast Entrepreneur Fund. The Women’s Business Network seeks to inspire and support women and men in their entrepreneurial journey. At the Destination Station you will connect with some of their clients and learn more about their services. Other seminars and workshops will be presented throughout the day covering a myriad of topics ranging from business to health, pampering and fun! One of the highlights will be the Unforgettable Parties Seminar presented by local Designer Rachel Hart. Hart, of Apron Elegance, will present "How to throw Unforgettable Birthday Parties and Life Event Celebrations." Hart is throwing a 1950s themed birthday party with musical entertainment and programmed activities to demonstrate how various components of a successful party come together. The aim is to illustrate how a family or group of friends can collaborate to produce an inexpensive and unforgettable experience. Hart calls her seminar a "show and tell" of recipes, tips and fun. In the Edmund Fitzgerald Exhibit Hall, local NAPA Dealers will be conducting a live version of their popular “Ask the Mechanic” radio program. NAPA service experts will be on hand to answer questions about vehicle maintenance and servicing and will even have car on hand to demonstrate to attendees first hand various vehicle issues.
