1st Annual Women’s Living Expo

PORTSMOUTH—
JEM Events is proud to announce its first annual Women’s Living Expo on Saturday, May 19. This event is designed for women-owned businesses and businesses that cater to women and will include health and wellness exhibits, healthy living, beauty, home décor, private readings, fantastic prizes, raffles, auction items and much more.
Admission is free. Come have a chair massage, visit a skin care specialist or have a private reading. The expo will cater to women of all ages and will benefit a great organization - BreastCancerStories.org and their MyBreastCancerSupport.org.
This is the first of its kind in the seacoast area, showcasing women-owned businesses and businesses catering to women and their specialties. People are encouraged to bring their checkbooks and credit cards to take advantage of the great deals and services available at the event. “We have an amazing range of products and services available to us by women, for women in this area,” says event coordinator Jan Merkley.
“These companies range from small in-home businesses to mid-sized companies, and to larger corporations. Seeing them all in one place opens our eyes to the choices which are right at our fingertips - but not always obvious here in the Seacoast.” But there’s much more to the Expo. Merkley also wants families to understand that it’s also a fun event that benefits a great organization so it has something for everyone. “We are honored to have been chosen as the recipient for this extraordinary event,” says Wendy McCoole, executive director for BreastCancerStories.org and MyBreastCancerSupport.org.
Women will enjoy speaking with skin care specialists, looking at beautiful jewelry, purses, wallets, and totes, candles, chocolate fondue dipping parties and many other surprises. There are also many businesses that have generously donated items or services toward the raffles and silent auctions.
This event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Community Campus, 100 Campus Drive, in Portsmouth.
