This year nearly 50 exhibitors will have booths at the expo, which is co-sponsored by the Daily News, said Nancy Hoffman, executive vice president of the Mid Valley Chamber. The exhibitors include for-profits and nonprofits alike, and range from insurance companies to car dealers, banks to hospitals and everything in between. It's a trade show giving local businesses an opportunity to showcase themselves, and the public a glimpse at what these businesses have to offer, Hoffman said. ``Many people do business with people they know and trust, and by being able to meet people one on one, they can find out who they're doing business with,'' she said. About half the firms represented this year participated in past expos, she said. The rest are newcomers. ``We sold out so early this year,'' said Hoffman, adding that the chamber used to put out a ``pretty fancy'' brochure to sell booth space. ``This year we did one mailing at the end of January, and by the beginning of March we sold out,'' she said.
