A packed gym of 85 vendors welcomed visitors on March 10 at the Bartlett Business, Home, Health & Garden Expo. The annual event at the Bartlett Recreation Center introduces the city’s thriving businesses to its citizens and also lets business owners network.

The day’s torrential rains didn’t keep people from perusing the booths, picking up freebies, winning door prizes and learning what Bartlett businesses could do for them. More than 900 people attended the 2016 Expo, and the Lifeblood blood drive received donations of eight units of blood that will ultimately help save 24 people.
