Last Thursday, Team Troy had a fantastic time at the Cheers to the Chamber Business Expo held by the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce. We were able to meet and greet other businesses from Fremont, Green Lake, Greenwood, Phinney Ridge, Queen Anne and Wallingford, as well as local residents. Mayor Mike McGinn and Deputy Mayor Darryl Smith came to show their support for small businesses, and even spoke to the important role that small businesses play in not only the city’s economy, but the vitality of our unique neighborhoods. For more information on Seattle neighborhoods, check out our Team Troy community pages.
One highlight was that Kellie Edmunds and Troy Anderson walked away with prizes. Kellie Edmunds won free professional photos and Troy Anderson won a large gift basket of goodies. All in all, it was a great afternoon spent learning about other businesses and sharing with others about Team Troy. The Team Troy reusable grocery bags were a real hit at the entrance; you will probably see them floating around town. Check out the photo highlights below:
