Thursday night was an important evening for the businesses of Sparta, as it was the Chamber of Commerce’s annual 2026 Business Expo. Hosted at First National Bank, dozens of businesses from across the area gathered to showcase their progress this year and the many projects to come. The Chamber even had a special prize waiting for one lucky visitor.
The turnout for the Business Expo was wonderful as always. On the bottom floor of the bank, stretching across from wall to wall, dozens of businesses, both small and large, showed off everything they had achieved this year. Some notable local examples included the Help Center, which moved to its new building at 115 E Bronson this year. Another was Ken Bullis, a local author who recently published his book From Patches to Prosperity.
On the second floor, even more businesses were showing off. The YMCA, Avon, Hörmann, The Expositor ourselves, and more were all there to engage with the varied business culture Sparta has been blessed with.
The little surprise the Chamber had came in the form of a big Orion Cooler from Jackson Kayak, awarded to one lucky visitor. From all the folks who signed on for the raffle, Dana Teeple with Freedom Pawn ended up winning the cooler. Congratulations Dana!
The Business Expo has always been a fantastic way for the many entrepreneurs of the county to get together and connect in a meaningful way. Thanks to the Chamber of Commerce for organizing the event, and to First National Bank for being wonderful hosts as always. The event was just as engaging as last year. Plus, the food is always a nice bonus.
