In fact, if you’re looking for just about any kind of business, health care, real estate, home improvement, or other local business, the place to be is College of the Canyons this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 11 and 12, for the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 24th annual Home and Business Expo.

Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday, leaders of industry will display their services under the big tent located in the COC parking lot. Admission is free, but the information available is priceless.

The Expo will also be the site of “Taste of Expo” from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday night. Taste of Expo is a business mixer featuring samplings from more than 25 area restaurants in a setting that fosters networking for everyone. Admission to Taste of Expo is $20 and includes 10 tasting tickets.

Entertainment on the main state will feature performers, a music DJ and a fashion show and much more. Nonprofit organizations will have displays in the outdoor pavilion and children’s activities will be available.

Pre-Expo activities start a little early on Sunday with a pancake breakfast from 7 to 10 a.m. sponsored by the SCV Rotary Club, and will be followed with a car show from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
