Big changes are coming to the 2019 Carroll County Chamber Business Expo. The Expo is Thursday, April 11, 2019, at the Carroll County Civic Center, and the hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“All the changes being made are to provide our vendors with a better opportunity to communicate with the people attending the Expo,” said Brad Hurley, Carroll County Chamber of Commerce president. “We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to network with local business people and community member.”
