Over 1500 people gathered at the Fayette Chamber’s Find it in Fayette! Community Expo held on September 15th at New Hope Church, setting a new record for attendance at this annual event. Business owners as well as community members enjoyed visiting over 130 exhibitors who showcased their products and services at the county’s largest tradeshow.
Each year one outstanding exhibitor is awarded a prize for winning the Best Booth Contest, sponsored this year by Oddo Brothers, CPAs.

This year an additional award, the Taster’s Choice, 
was added to honor one outstanding food exhibitor. Sponsored by Dolce Atlanta-Peachtree Conference Center, the winning Taster’s Choice display was selected by input from a judges panel led by Dolce’s Chef Len, as well the results of the visitors’ vote. The winner was The Cheesecake Boutique (www.thecheesecakeboutique.com) owned by Marie Selkridge-Ashford. She will also receive a prize package worth over $800 from the Chamber.
