Fifty vendors — many of them major sponsors — participated in the Franklin-Southampton Chamber of Commerce’s 26th annual Business Expo, which took place on Thursday in the Regional Workforce Development Center at Camp Community College. At the close of the event, five awards were presented to businesses and organizations that attended the expo.
