MANSFIELD, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—The Richland Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development hosted its 18th annual Business Expo on Thursday, transforming Fairhaven Hall at the Richland County Fairgrounds into a pet-themed extravaganza.
Dubbed “Unleash the Possibilities,” the event featured over 100 vendors, each encouraged to incorporate pet-related elements into their booths. Attendees encountered pet giveaways, themed attire, and creatively decorated displays.
The Humane Society of Richland County and the Richland County Dog Shelter were among the highlights, bringing adoptable dogs to the expo. The presence of the animals provided a popular attraction and fostered connections between potential adopters and the shelters.
In conjunction with the expo, the chamber also hosted a donation drive to support the Richland County Humane Society and the dog shelter.
