Deadline for Forest Elementary Business Expo Extended to Oct. 21

The successful event benefits vendors and the Farmington elementary school.

PTA parent Melissa Rakolta is organizing a second business expo Nov. 3, 5 p.m.-9 p.m. – and there's still time for vendors to sign up.

Rakolta has extended the deadline to Oct. 21. As an independent consultant for Thirty-One Gifts, through which she sells handbags and other gift items, she pulled the first "Friends of Forest" Expo together in late March as a way to help crafters and small business owners, while also benefiting the school. The event was overwhelmingly successful, with more than 60 vendors participating and many families attending.

Cost for booth rentals is $25-$30, and space is limited to 40 tables. Sign up by contacting Rakolta via email, melrakolta@gmail.com, or by calling 248-592-2132
