Consumer Showcase

Come Out And Meet Local Businesses

Whetheryou are new to the area or just want to know what else is new to the area, the Coastal Consumer Showcase is a must attend event. We know that sometimes it is difficult to find a business that provides a product or service. You can search the Chamber’s Business Directory, but going to an event where you can see the product or talk with business owners about their services is extremely valuable.

The Coastal Consumer Showcase will be on Thursday, Feb 9 from 4-7 pm at the St. James Community Center, 4136 Southport-Supply Road. The Showcase is a public event organized by the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce. There will be lots of free giveaways provided by the participating businesses, including free samples, a $100 cash drawing, and the popular pick-a-prize auction.

Admission is free. Each vendor will donate prize for the Pick-A-Prize Auction, and all those who register for the $100 Cash Drawing will receive one ticket for the Pick-A-Prize Auction. Additional auction tickets will be available for purchase: 5 tickets for $5 and 20 tickets for $10. At 6:30 pm, the Chamber will draw the winners for the Pick-A-Prize Auction prizes and will notify the winners ASAP by email. Winners can collect prizes at the business donating the item. What is a Pick-A-Prize Auction? Register and get a free ticket or purchase additional tickets. There will be a “bag” in front of each prize at every vendor booth. You determine which prize(s) you would like to a chance to win. Then you place your ticket(s) in the bag(s) of that prize(s). The winner of that prize will be selected from the corresponding “bag.”
