The Cape Ann Chamber Home & Business Exposition will be held this year at Gloucester High School on March 26th and 27th. The event, which will be held inside the high school’s athletic field house, is open to all businesses. The floor will be open on Saturday (the 26th) from 10:00 to 4:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 3:00.
Committee chairman Ed Collard reports interest for the show is extremely high. “We are excited to have the interest of so many businesses on Cape Ann and other areas,” said Collard. “This year’s show is going to showcase many businesses that help the community in a variety of ways and I believe we will have a terrific turnout. This will be a ‘Show and Sell’ event.”
The Exposition replaces the Home & Garden Show from prior years. Bob Hastings, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce said, “We decided we would have a better show by opening it up to all businesses in the area. It will be a more diverse show with expectations of more booths than in prior years.”
The Exposition will feature a show kitchen with cooking demonstrations by local culinary stars. Another featured highlight will include an interactive children’s section; many exhibitors will be providing door prizes and other giveaways.
Booths are $375 with an early bird discount rate of $325 for businesses registered by February 25th. To register your company for the show please download the attached registration form or contact Project and Events Director Tim Burton at 978-283-1601 or email tim@capeannchamber.com.
This will be a project that can be used year after year for very little dough and will provide an activity over the course of a couple days.

The Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce is looking for fabulous photography to include in its upcoming promotional materials—the 2011 CAPE ANN GUIDE magazine, and the 2011 CAPE ANN VISITORS MAP brochure, including cover and interior artwork. All photographers will receive photo credit for their art.
The artwork that is used for the cover of the magazine will need to be a bleed that trims to 8-1/8” wide x 10-7/8” high. The upper left quarter will need to be able to have the Cape Ann logo placed over it. (Please see the cover of the 2010 CAPE ANN GUIDE found at http://www.capeannvacations.com/ to see how the logo will be placed.)
Artwork that is used internally in the magazine will range in size from about 2×4 inches to two-page spreads (bleed, trim to 16-1/2” wide x 10-7/8” high).
The minimum resolution for all photography is 300 ppi. We can accept JPG, TIF, or any other standard file format.
We need this photography as soon as possible.
Sample art can be submitted to info@capeannchamber.com. Please provide high resolution photos so that our designer can see your art at its best, and zip it so that our spam filter doesn’t try to keep us safe from your photos. Indicate CAPE ANN GUIDE photos in your subject line. You may also send us a CD or DVD with images to Tracy Arabian’s attention at the address below. We can also review images on a website—simply send us the web address. Make sure to include photo credit information.
It is the Chamber’s policy to protect our photographers—we will not distribute your work to other entities unless you give us specific permission to do so.
