Small business owners get business info at Fitzpatrick seminar today at noon
The Entrepreneur and Small Business Resource Fair is set for Thursday, June 28, at the Fitzpatrick Hotel from 12 noon to 1:30. "I expect we'll have a good crowd," said Donna Hardy, executive director of the Washington-Wilkes Chamber of Commerce. "This is going to be a one-stop shop for small-business information." The resource fair will bring together people and information that a small business, a new business, or someone with an idea for a business, might need to get started or make their businesses successful. "At the resource fair we'll have experts from Georgia's Department of Community Affairs and Department of Economic Development, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, from UGA's Small Business Development Center, and SCORE," Hardy said. "You'll be able to get information on all the programs, different kinds of assistance, and loans that are available, and we'll have information on employees, taxes, licensing, and zoning, too."
There are lots of small businesses and entrepreneurs active in Wilkes County, Hardy said, evidenced by the number of Grand Opening celebrations planned. This Friday at 1 p.m., the Chamber will hold an Open House/Grand Opening/Ribbon Cutting for The Antiques Orphanage on The Square. On Friday and Saturday, July 6 and 7, Advance Auto Parts on East Robert Toombs will hold their Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting.
Another ribbon cutting is set for Saturday, July 21 at 11 a.m. for The Sandwich Shop on Robert Toombs at The Square. "Paula and Bruce Fitzgerald invite you to come meet them and the crew," Hardy said.
