Jackson Fire Expo 2010 Sunday February 7th Is a Go

Steve — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:08:10 +0000

The Jackson Fire Expo Sunday event at Stark State College will be held as scheduled. We have been in discussions with the Dean of the college to be sure that we will not get a last minute cancelation again.

The Vendor Expo will begin at 7:30 AM and the program will begin at 9:00 AM.

Without the support of the Vendors, this Expo would not be possible every year. Please remember to visit the vendors and support them. This year will be difficult for some vendors, as they lost a day of sales with the Expo being canceled for Saturday. Please, if you are considering a purchase and you see the item for sale by a vendor at the Jackson Fire Expo, consider buying the item from the local vendor. Without the vendors, there is no Jackson Fire Expo.

Jackson Fire Expo 2010 SATURDAY ONLY Is Cancelled

The 15th Annual Jackson Fire Expo SATURDAY SESSION only will be cancelled due to the extreme snowfall in the area. Refunds will be issued for SATURDAY ONLY. The Sunday session will continue as scheduled.

We are sorry for the late notice, and any inconvenience caused. Our original agreement with the venue allowed for the Saturday session to continue in spite of the weather, but we were notified after midnight that we would not be allowed on the premises for our Expo.
