The Mid-Michigan Women’s Expo is coming back for its 23rd annual event in Lansing from Friday, Feb. 10 through Sunday, Feb. 12. All LCC students, staff and faculty are invited join in the fun.

The expo will take place at the Lansing Center, located at 333 E. Michigan Ave. in downtown Lansing.

According to Pam Glass, the president of Kohler’s Expo, Inc., this year’s event will offer one free admission to LCC’s female students, staff and faculty who produce valid ID at the entrance.

LCC visitors can visit the exhibitor check-in table and present ID to receive their free admission.

“The three-day expo is the largest single consumer event for women in Mid-Michigan,” Glass said. “(It) will feature hundreds of women-focused businesses with products, services and demonstrations that aim to provide a weekend of enjoyment, education, and entertainment for women of all ages.”

Along with products, this year there will be interactive areas, including try-on stations at different fashion boutiques and skincare booths, food sampling, painting workshops, IV hydration and vitamin infusions, and much more.

Other new features of this year’s expo include a daily chance to win door prizes available for all Expo visitors, as well as complimentary tote bags from Capital Area District Libraries for the first 1,000 visitors.

“Since 1998, Kohler Expos, Inc., has produced the perfect balance of entertainment, education and enjoyment in Michigan events tailored for women of all ages,” Glass said. “Through the consumer shows that Kohler Expos produces each year in Grand Rapids and Lansing, hundreds of women-focused businesses are introduced to tens of thousands of women in West Michigan and Mid-Michigan.

“Kohler Expos understands the power of direct marketing and has harnessed its benefits for entrepreneurial start-ups and well-established businesses alike.”

The Mid-Michigan Women’s Expo is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Feb. 10 and 11, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Although the first admission for all LCC female students, staff and faculty is free, regular admission to the event is $11, and free for children 2 and under. For online tickets and more information, visit www.KohlerExpo.com.
