"Miss Kay" Robertson, from the A&E hit TV show "Duck Dynasty." is a featured guest at the upcoming She: An Expo for Women, sponsored by the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

Highlighting Saturday's schedule is the matriarch of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" brood, "Miss Kay" Robertson, plus sisters Katherine Kallinis Berman and Sophie LaMontagne, stars of the TLC series "DC Cupcakes."

Sunday offers a trio of talents representing reality television, a soap opera and a talk show: Caroline Manzo of "Real Housewives of New Jersey," Deidre Hall of "Days of Our Lives" and Dr. Travis Stork of "The Doctors."

Described as "the ultimate girls weekend out," the She expo also features health screenings, beauty products and services, food sampling, health and nutrition products and various forms of pampering for girls of all ages.

Hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets, which grant admission both days, are $12 online and $15 at the door for adults, $7 for children 5-12 (online or at the door).

A limited number of VIP tickets are available for "Duck Dynasty's" Robertson. Priced at $100, they grant event admission both days, a meet-and-greet with photo and autograph opportunity and reserved priority seating for her onstage demonstration.
