While retailers on the mountain have enjoyed the exposure provided by MBA’s Sunday on Signal event for more than 20 years, the Signal Spring Expo will be the first event to showcase service providers.
“I’m excited to get to know the services all over the mountain I may not have known about,” said Monique Poteet, an MBA board member and co-owner of Signal Mountain Athletic Club, where the event will be held. “Signal Mountain Athletic Club loves to be involved with anything that helps community businesses grow.”
The Spring Expo features 52 service providers giving demonstrations, handing out samples and awarding door prizes.
“People don’t realize how many services the mountain has to offer,” said Poteet.
