The second Branson Women’s Expo will be held at the West Wing Conference Center (White House Theatre) located at 2255 Gretna Rd on October 22-23, 2016.

The Branson Women’s Expo will run Saturday, October 22 from 10 am-6 pm and Sunday, October 23 from 10 am-3 pm. Women will have the chance to connect face-to-face with trustworthy financial experts, insurance professionals, home décor specialists, health and beauty consultants, and of course to shop to their hearts’ content. Get a jump-start on your holiday shopping with local and regional exhibitors offering everything from essentials to little personal luxuries. There is something for every woman at the Expo…whether you are looking for inspiration, relaxation or to get help managing life’s details, you’ll find the resources needed.

You will be helping the children of Taney County as you purchase the $2.00 entry ticket at the door, all of which will go to the Junior Auxiliary of Taney County (JATC). Paid admission not only provides a donation to JATC and access to more than 55 vendors, but also a great goodie bag supplied by the sponsors containing magazine, coupons and other promotional items.
