Lakes District TRADE SHOW a success
Jun 08. 11
The Lakes District branch staff recently participated in the Burns Lake & District Chamber of Commerce Trade Show held May 27 & 28 in the Tom Forsythe Memorial Arena. The local Trade Show is a bi-annual event and was considered a great success this year. The BVCU booth was decked out with plenty of information and photos and was considered one of the “must see booths” as we not only provided popcorn and mini cupcakes, we handed out many tradeshow goodies by way of our new “PLINKO” board game which proved to be a big hit too.
The “PLINKO” board was designed and built by staff member Carren Wilson and was a big draw to our booth. It was also was a good way to give out some tradeshow trinkets to those who stopped by. And we must admit, we enjoyed having the local banks’ employees coming to our booth, playing PLINKO and complimenting us on our efforts for this local event.
We will now have the “Plinko” game board available for use by other groups in the Community as we do with our tent and popcorn machine. Stop by the branch for a visit and to get more information anytime.
