5-7 p.m. — Business Expo and Taste of Van Wert County (open and free to the public).

Visitors will enjoy free appetizers and sweets from local establishments and a cash bar while visiting the business exhibit booths.

“This is the premier event that offers the best of both worlds with business to business relationship and the opportunity to reach greater Van Wert area consumers,” explained Van Wert Chamber President/CEO Susan Munroe. “This is the second year for this new format; our event venue at the Van Wert Elks Lodge Banquet Hall is centrally located in Van Wert, air-conditioned, has ample parking, and attendees can purchase beverages from 5-7 p.m. during the Expo and Taste of Van Wert County, while browsing the business exhibits.”
