2016 Town Budget
The community was given an opportunity to kick off their holiday shopping at the 15th annual Women’s Expo last Thursday, Oct. 1. The one-day event, which was held at the Middle Country Public Library in Centereach, drew an estimated crowd of
more than 2100 people who came out to support local women in business. Presented by the Middle Country Library Foundation and the library’s Miller Business Resource Center, the occassion gave more than 80 women entrepreneurs the opportunity to introduce their wonderful products which included
wine, candles, baked goods, handbags, Fall crafts, clothing, jewelry, teas, jams, pottery, soaps and much more. Visitors were also able to have lunch at the expo cafe and try their luck at the raff le basket table. Vendors interested in participating in next year’s event are encouraged to visit www.womensExpoli.org.
