Where there any first time vendors at the show?

Mogie's Mallows was at the expo for the first time and Owner Ben Morgensen says he was pleased with the turnout:

"Yeah, we're handing out free samples all day long, we're getting a constant flow of people coming in and out so we're right on the back corner so we got two people handing out samples."

Amy Pelant is the Owner of Wild Dots Art, another first-year business at the expo. She says they were delighted with the event:

"I'm very excited to be here, it's a great turnout so I'm very excited to see all the people coming through the doors, really great visibility so definitely meeting my expectations."

How many total businesses were there and what was the cost to go?

The Made in Minnesota Expo had a record 142 businesses take part, was free to attend, and was a great way to get in some early holiday shopping.
