The Prince William Chamber of Commerce invites all residents of Prince William County and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park to attend MARKETPLACE: The Local Experience on Thursday, October 27Â from 4 -7 p.m. at the Freedom Aquatic & Fitness Center in Manassas.
Formerly called “Connections,” MARKETPLACE focuses on bringing businesses and the community together for a uniquely “local” experience.
Says the Chamber’s Director of Marketing and Communications Andrea Whaley,
“With MARKETPLACE, the goal is to show Prince William and Manassas residents all of the incredible LOCAL places where they could be dining, shopping, playing and staying; as well as the local businesses will hope they will support. I invite the readers of PotomacLocal.com to join us on October 27th.  The Chamber would love the opportunity to show you that you don’t need to go to surrounding counties to find cool things to experience. We have it all right here.
Picture this: You enter a room filled with everything that makes our community a great place to live and play. To your left is an artisanal jewelry maker, samples from locally-owned restaurants and a booth featuring photos and information on family-friendly festivals right here in your hometown. To your right you find stores and wellness services from Occoquan to Haymarket–are selling their wares and offering demonstrations. At the booth on the corner you deposit your entry for the $500 cash prize.”
With FREE admission, FREE parking, FREE food and close to 100 exhibitors, MARKETPLACE offers a fun way to learn more about the best our community has to offer! How many times have you gone to neighboring counties on the weekends to shop or explore? You might just be missing out on similar experiences right here in your backyard!
