VP Business Showcase: Shop and Support Local in the Northwest Suburbs!
The 2nd annual VP Business Showcase is coming up soon! Join us as we cast a spotlight on area businesses and nonprofit organizations located in the Northwest Suburbs ... you could also take home some really great stuff! More on that later ...
Thank you to our presenting sponsors: Grossinger Chevrolet in Palatine, ProMark Planners, State Farm Agent Matt Trembley and Starship Travel, along with our media sponsors Patch.com and the Daily Herald.
The VP Business Showcase is presented by Vicarious Productions (thus the VP), a public relations/marketing firm in Palatine. The event was created in 2014 with certain goals in mind; to promote shopping locally, learning more about area professional service providers and supporting local charitable organizations. This is accomplished by engaging area residents and business people to attend and learn more about our 30 business/organization participants.
All attendees receive a complimentary glass of wine, courtesy of d'Vine Wine and Gifts and hors d'oeuvres will be provided by Hot Dog Richie's (and no, it's won't just be delicious samples of Vienna Beef hot dogs!!) Everyone gets a take-away bag with goodies in it-as well as a passport that you can get stamped at each showcase table.
Other goodies: You can qualify to win a number of really great door prizes and giveaways, including a getaway trip for two to a quaint Door County cottage, spa and salon packages, a wine tasting for 30 people, restaurant gift certificates and many other fabulous take-aways.
Our showcase vendors can be found here: http://vpbusinessshowcase.com/, and will be providing product and service demonstrations along with items to purchase for yourself, or even your Valentine from Salon Lorrene, Castle Chiropractic, Bedazzled, Betsy's One of a Kind, Cristal-Me, Christie's Dairy Delights and Tammy's Delights Dog Bakery.
You'll also encounter professional service providers such as Olson Windows and Doors, Active Air Plus HVAC, Hogans Systems Consulting, Technology Masters and Ignite Payments. The Exercise Coach, J.P. Wood Martial Arts America, Usana (Independent Representative Chris Goeller) will also be showcasing, as well as Joe Favia from Favia Family Dental, Palatine Bank and Trust, Christopher Paul Photography and A Plus Property Management.
We have three charity partners, 1) C.A.T.I.F. [Celebrating All That Is Feminine] who raise funds for women and children in crisis, 2) The Bridge Youth and Family Services, which offers counseling services to families at no cost and 3) Arlington Cares, NFP, an organization that raises funds for a local emergency fund.
The VP Business Showcase is also a great place to network and mingle with area residents, business owners and other professionals.
Join us on Thursday, February 12 from 5:30 p.m. until 8 p.m. in the beautiful Bronze Ballroom (2nd floor) at the Holiday Inn Chicago-Palatine/N. Arlington Heights. It's conveniently located at Route 53 and Dundee Road, right next to World Gym.
We're already taking showcase table reservations for 2016! This event is lots of fun, well attended, and doing what we believe as a company should be done-supporting the men and women who run area businesses and organizations that employ our friends and neighbors, by keeping our money, our time, energy and commitments-LOCAL!
