We had been told by so many people NOT to miss the Tahoe Chamber's Business Expo, South Shore's premier business event.  We were not disappointed.

My day began with volunteering at the event, by checking in the vendors.  What a glimpse of what fun the evening would hold.  It was great to get to know these businesses before the crowds arrived.  There were 97 Chamber Member Businesses showcased.

For the $10 cost of admission, we received an amazing night of "awesomeness".  From the Heavenly Go-Go dancers...

...to Harrah's decadent and addictive chocolate bar!

MontBleu Resort Casino recreated their Boogie Nights where, "You’ll want to brush off those retro clothes, practice your dance moves, and get ready to jump back in time to the groovy 70s and 80s because we’re throwing the ultimate Boogie Nights themed dance party at Blu Nightclub on Saturday nights! Boogie the night away on our lighted dance floor while shaking your groove thing to the largest collections of disco balls you’ve ever seen!"

I can't even capture the festive and friendly atmosphere.  The businesses were really extending their best.  AND there was something for everyone!

Turn 3- The Peanut Bar was serving their special Bloody Marys.  While I didn't drink one, the bacon accent had me intrigued.  Everyone was slurping them like they were good for you!

It wasn't just a party, we gained a lot of information about our local businesses and services, as well.  Those who know me, know I can't resist characters in costume.  Kirkwood pays tribute to all avalanche dogs that help aide in the rescue of victims, with their very own Mascot, Doc the Dog.

Our friend, Kristi, was manning the TRPA booth so we brought her chocolate!

Over 1,200 visitors were expected.  I would say, at least that many were there.  We dined on delicious food provided by dozens of restaurants.  Wine, beer, Rum Runners, and a smorgasbord of YUM was served.  Incredible truly!

You absolutely have to love an event where Elvis is there and where you bump into fabulous people like Deborah and Joe (the previous owners of our cabin).

Steve and I continue to marvel at all there is to experience here in South Lake Tahoe.  Like all Tahoe Chamber events, we had attended this past year, we are so impressed with the organization and value we have received.  We will EXPOse ourselves again next year.  This is not to be missed!
