Taste of Rockwall, Business Expo to showcase area companies, restaurants

(ROCKWALL-April 10, 2013) The Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce will host its 20th Annual Taste of Rockwall & Business Expo from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, April 11 at Rockwall High School.

Food, fun, entertainment and local companies will be highlighted during the event, which is designed to be part business–to-business; part business-to-general-public-networking; and part social.  The event accomplishes both by providing an “open feel” in the gymnasiums where the Business Expo is held, supporting casual one-on-one discussions with Rockwall-area businesses and services representing approximately 80 companies.

Year after year exhibitors and attendees alike enjoy the enthusiastic, business-friendly atmosphere of the Expo, along with the conversational and social event of the tasting experience.   Approximately 30 local restaurants and dining establishments will showcase their delicious cuisine from South and Central American favorites to Asian, Italian and American along with satisfying your ‘sweet tooth’ with select bakers.

The goal of the Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce Business Expo and Taste of Rockwall is to highlight businesses, dining establishments, products and services to approximately 1,000 attendees from Rockwall Countyand beyond!  Other highlights surrounding the event will be “The ‘Best of the Best” awards to be judged in various categories on both the Business Expo and Taste of Rockwall setting
