Newberry event to be an opportunity to meet businesses down the street
SHAWNA T. TURNER/Sun-Gazette
Mark O’Neill, owner of one of the participating businesses, and Tom Mazurek, a member of the Newberry Community Neighbors and Economy team discuss the upcoming event at O’Neill’s business, Mark’s Sales and Leasing.
For the first time, about 40 Newberry businesses will be gathering together under one roof to showcase their services and products to the community, while having some fun and giving some things away too. Part of the reason for the event is get the community reacquainted with the businesses that are right there in the community’s backyard. Many times, what is right there tends to get overlooked, according to Alannah Gabriel, coordinator of the event. “Visitors will be amazed at the variety of products and services offered in Williamsport’s west end,” Gabriel said. The idea for the event began as a simple conversation between a few business owners and quickly spread into a full fledge event, according to Gabriel. “It was Bill Kieser, Tom Hunsberger and Dina Wascher, just happened to be here (West End Christian Community Center) at the same time and were talking about how great it would be to start promoting Newberry businesses. It kind of started as a joke at first.
