The 14th biannual Passport to Health & Wellness Expo took place in Bristol, attracting 75 vendors who promote various health and wellness services. Organizer Shirley Bloethe noted the importance of such expos for small businesses often operating from home, providing essential visibility to potential customers. The event featured a diverse range of exhibitors, from insurance brokers to artisans and food vendors. Attendees emphasized the value of in-person interactions, as it fosters connections and community engagement, crucial for building customer relationships and understanding local health resources better.
"A lot of them are small businesses that work from home. They have to actually go to an expo in order for customers to see them and know who they are."
"Sometimes it's hard to find local, in-person help. I spent the day helping people understand their insurance and Medicare options."
