Fall for Local Small Business Expo - Senior Project

Sears Parking Lot | Columbus, Indiana

Fall for Local is a small business expo celebrating the people, businesses, and stories that make our community unique.

Hosted in partnership with the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce and Columbus North High School seniors Pia Rai and Avika Veldandi, Fall for Local gives our community an opportunity to discover local small businesses, hear their stories, and shop with businesses they may not have experienced before.

But this event is about more than shopping local - it's about connecting local businesses with the next generation of customers.

Our marketing will specifically focus on reaching youth and young consumers, giving participating businesses an opportunity to introduce themselves to a new audience, expand their customer base, and showcase what makes their business special.

Local Businesses - We Want You There!

For just $10, businesses can reserve a 10' x 10' booth space and be part of this community-focused event. Bring your products, promote your services, share your story, and connect with potential customers.

All booth proceeds benefit the Columbus North Chapter of Business Professionals of America (BPA).

BPA is a Career and Technical Student Organization that prepares students for leadership, service, and success in business, technology, and related fields. Through Fall for Local, Pia and Avika are putting those skills into action by creating and hosting an event that connects local businesses with the community.

It's a small way to support the business professionals of the next generation while helping today's small businesses grow.

Come discover a local business you haven't met yet. Hear their story. Support local. And maybe find a new favorite.

Businesses: Reserve your 10' x 10' booth for just $10 and get your business in front of a new generation of customers.
