19th Annual 2014 Made In NH Expo Set for this Weekend

By: Tyler Peterson Apr. 01, 2014

Thousands of shoppers will be flocking to Manchester next weekend to support homegrown businesses at the Made in NH Expo. Celebrating its 19th year, the Made in NH Expo brings hundreds of locally made products under one roof to create a unique shopping experience for attendees. The event will be held April 4, 5 and 6 at the Radisson Hotel/Center of NH in Downtown Manchester.

As the event producers like to say, "We were all about buying local before buying local was cool." Raising awareness of what's made in NH boosts our economy and helps to maintain and create jobs in the Granite State. The Expo highlights NH's broad creativity. Attendees are often heard exclaiming surprise at what we can make right here in NH.

The most popular aspect of this Expo is the "Try It & Buy It" theme. Expo attendees will be able to sample and buy products from both new exhibitors and many returning favorites. On display will be a variety of products from fine woodworking, jewelry, books by local authors, home décor items, accessories for people and pets, and bath and body products. Some of the food items offered will be a variety of bakery items, gourmet popcorn and confections, barbecue and hot sauces and more.

Friday, April 4 is Business-to-Business Day. Wholesale and retail buyers from across the region and members of the NH Retail Merchants Association will make the Expo their destination. Many NH government officials, top industry leaders and business owners also attend our opening ceremonies and stay to network with exhibitors and attendees. The public is also welcome on Friday.
