We may be clawing our way out of the
depths of winter, but we’ve certainly got June on the brain. For the fourth
year in a row, the Northeast Washington Wedding & Event expo drew crowds
from all over the tri-county area. Packing out the Ag Trade Center at the
Stevens County Fairground, exhibitors ranging from rustic honeymoon get-away
locations to household products had a chance to show their offerings to a
steady stream of traffic on Saturday, February 21. The expo featured live music
provided by Sara Brown and her trusty guitar, and a fashion show sponsored by
Reflections utilized local high school students as models. Jagged Edge Salon
stepped in to provide hair styling and Safeway Floral fashioned bouquets, boutonnieres
and corsages. Expo attendees got a glimpse of the variety of formal attire for
men and women that are available in the area, along with an assortment of
businesses that offer wedding and event coordination across the spectrum of
style and budget. Multiple bakeries, including Heather’s Custom Cakes, owned
and operated by Heather Moffit, showcased wedding cakes and other delectables.
Local caterers offered guests samples of popular appetizers, and scenic
locations for weddings and other events were on hand to provide a glimpse of
what our area has to offer.

Moffit, the coordinator of the expo for
the last two years, says that more than 80 brides visited the expo last year
and this year was even busier. Several vendors offered brides and other visitors
a complete package – decorating, coordinating and planning the event from the
ground up. The expo offered a remarkable number of options for decorators, site
locations, music DJs and food caterers on hand to talk to. Product samples for
weight-loss plans, beauty regimes, and the ever-faithful Tupperware line were
on hand to help brides-to-be get ready for their big day and their new life. Many
local businesses were given a chance to meet and greet the community in a
relaxed and fun setting.
Next year, the Northeast Washington
Wedding & Event Expo will be held on Saturday, February 20th at
the Ag Trade center. Information and updates are posted on the expo Facebook
