Spring is in the air, and ladies, it’s time to let loose!
The ultimate girls’ day out is the Fraser Valley Women’s Expo happening Feb. 28 to March 1 at Chilliwack Heritage Park. Shopping, spa treatments, entertainment and education in everything from wellness and cooking to finance and technology — the expo has something for everyone!
“There’s such a great atmosphere in the show. It’s the time of the year where people are just waiting to get out of the house and shake off the winter. The place is always buzzing,” says show producer Shannon Ross.
Ross loves doing the show because she’s passionate about connecting people and helping women have fun! Here are just a few of the great things you can catch at this year’s Fraser Valley Women’s Expo:
- Workshops: Julie’s Makes & Macrames hosts a workshop so you can have fun with your friends while learning a new skill! There are lots of hands-on opportunities to try something new.
