The Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce’s annual Buy Local, Safe & Green Expo will celebrate and showcase local businesses of all varieties from 2-7 p.m. Thursday at the Gainesville Civic Center.

Featuring nearly 70 exhibitors, the event “promotes buying local and keeping tax dollars here,” according to Megan Martin, vice president of membership and events with the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce.

She said there’s a wide range of exhibitors, including “everything from a local water company to a chiropractor, lots of nonprofits, local restaurants and a car dealership.”
