The event is organized by the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Organizers say it's a chance for residents to connect with local businesses, and for businesses to network with each other.

"The main thing is just getting our name out. And most people say 'Oh, we didn't know they're doing sightseeing rides'," says Jack Phillips, Bedford Landings Bed and Breakfast.

Even though the Expo ended Friday afternoon, the tents will stay up for the Beer and Barbecue Festival Saturday.
