2011 Business Expo - Pedal to Prosperity

The 2011 Business Expo, Pedal to Prosperity, was held March 25 at the Mont Bleu Convention Center in Stateline, Nevada. Forget the fact that the Tahoe basin received 3 feet of fresh powder only 48 hours before, hundreds showed up to mingle, network and support local businesses in the South Lake Tahoe Community!

There were 72 vendors exhibiting, a Silent Auction and Live Entertainment. Some of the larger exhibitors included Heavenly Valley, Amgen Tour of California, League to Save Lake Tahoe, South Tahoe Association of Realtors, Anytime Fitness, The Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition, The Tahoe Tribune, Tahoe TV and the Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra. As the night rolled on the Silent Auction began and more people kept arriving. The Food, Beverage, Silent Auction and Live Entertainment were Exceptional!

The restaurants did an outstanding job Wowing everyone with a wonderful array of food and beverages. The Beacon Bar and Grill was pouring their Famous Rum Runners and The Fresh Catch was serving fresh shucked oysters on the half shell. The Lakeside Inn had a very impressive South West Menu. The Mont Bleu Chefs put on a fabulous buffet of Ahi Tuna and lamp chops. It was truly an Exceptional Event!.

Not only was it fun to see old faces who are the foundation behind South Lake Tahoe, it was wonderful to meet new people and find out about their businesses. Thanks to the Chamber of Commerce for Sponsoring a Great Evening and Thanks to all the great people around town for keeping Lake Tahoe Alive!
