The booths are sold out with 100 exhibitors who will offer information, demonstrations, food and product samples and door prize drawings, said Carolyn Konefal, executive director of the Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event.

"It's a broad representation of what the community has to offer," Konefal said.

"It's an opportunity to refamiliarize with who is out there and the services offered and benefits provided," Konefal said.

Also on hand that day will be the Goodwill Industries Electronics Recycling Truck, she said. Items accepted for collection are any working or non-working cell phone, electronic device such as a table, computer, printer and related items (hard drive, monitor, keyboard, etc.), gaming device, cords and chargers.
