As visitors peruse the exhibition booths, they can expect goodie bags filled with surprises and special offers from participating organizations. Additionally, attendees will have the chance to participate in raffle drawings, offering exciting prizes generously donated by local businesses. One of the highlights of the Chamber Business Expo is the thrilling Chamber Money Machine.

Test your luck and see how much you can grab within the time limit. It's an experience that's sure to get your adrenaline pumping!

Mark your calendars, bring your family and friends, and join us for a day filled with excitement, discoveries, and opportunities to support local businesses.

What a morning, Citrus County! 🎉

That's a wrap on the 2nd Annual Citrus Business & Builders Expo, and what a turnout.

Thank you to every family, neighbor, and business owner who came out, filled a bingo card, met the mermaids, and made a run at the Money Machine. You made the day.

A heartfelt thank-you to our top sponsors, Trusted Solutions Insurance Agency, Inc. and Bruce Kaufman Construction Incorporated, and to every sponsor and exhibitor who stepped up to make this event possible and free for our whole community. We couldn't do it without you.

Didn't make it out? Take a scroll through these photos. Every booth is a local business ready to help with your next project, service, or need. Give them a follow, save their info, and shop local Citrus County all year long. These are the folks who build, sell, and solve right here at home.

Already counting down to next year. See you in 2027!
