Be prepared to be “WOW’ed” on Saturday, March 16 when over 50 exhibitors showcase their goods and services at the 31st annual WOW Trade Show. 

Organized by the Women of Oliver for Women Society (WOW), the event is at the Oliver Community Centre from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. will feature more than 50 booths, door prizes, spring primroses for sale, a raffle for a custom furniture piece and refreshments for purchase by Oliver Eats. Admission is by donation.

The WOW Society is a group of like-minded women, meeting once a month with a pledge: “To enrich the lives of women and children in our community and beyond.”

While many of the vendors are returning for another instalment, there are also many new ones to experience this year, according to the organizers. 

“Visitors enjoy this spring “coming-out” event each year – a time to reconnect with friends and local suppliers of the coveted products they have learned to rely on.” 

While noting the convenience of being able to buy their favourite products on-line, “isn’t it exciting when spring comes around and we can meet live, and share an inspirational day with our family and friends,” the WOW Society says.

This annual show offers an opportunity for vendors and customers to connect and share information. As an exhibitor, the WOW Trade Show offers an opportunity to meet in person, answer questions and reach a broader audience. 

And as a customer, a few hours at the Trade Show, offers a social atmosphere with a wide variety of products and services to choose from in one venue. 

“The WOW Trade Show opens the door for both sides to gain – a win/win for everyone!”

The event is sponsored by The Falls Furniture & Cabinet Co. from Okanagan Falls and this is the third year that they have donated a major prize for the raffle.
