Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) Women and Friends are hosting the fourth annual NEO Expo and Craft Fair in the Calcagno Family Ballroom on March 26, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Over 40 vendors from the four-state area will present their crafts and services. “The funds that are raised are used to provide student scholarships and for the daily operations for Peggy’s Closet; a professional clothing closet for students in need of business attire for job interviews or the first few weeks of employment,” said Donna Hale, executive director of NEO Women and Friends. “The variety and quality of merchandise continues to improve each year. While some of our favorite vendors are returning, we look forward to the new products and services that will be offered at this year’s event.”

The Expo will give community members a chance to meet many local vendors and see crafts and services such as photography, hand-made jewelry, specialty foods, clothing, and more. Vendor and photographer Megan Frazier took Easter portraits at last year’s Expo and had live chicks and ducks. “I loved seeing the kids interact with the animals,” said Frazier. “This event is always a great way for the community to get involved and it gives me a chance to share my business.” Community members are welcome to attend and admission is free.
