Inaugural Town & Country Expo set for Jan. 15 in Hampton

Small businesses and local agriculture companies will unite next week during a special event aimed at strengthening bonds between their customer bases.

     The Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce will host the first-ever Town & Country Ag Expo on Jan. 15 at the Franklin County Convention Center. The event promises to bring agriculture and downtown businesses together to showcase how valuable both entities are to the quality of life and economy of Franklin County. The expo is free to the public and open to anyone interested in learning more about the area’s biggest economic driving forces.

     “This is the first time we’ve done anything like this, and we’re pretty excited for it,” said Chamber Director Newton Grotzinger. “The idea was to bring town and country together and kind of show how each one of them is so important to one another.”
