There Is Only One You Women's Expo: Saturday, November 10 In Stillwater

The There's Only 1 You Women's Expo will be held at the Water Street Inn in Stillwater, Minnesota, on Saturday, November 10, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The expo is free to attend.

Providing a Platform for Women and Women-Owned Businesses to Shine

The There’s Only 1 You Women’s Expo is an idea born out of a great friendship between two empowered and intelligent women. For years, friends and coworkers Stacie Jensen and Lynnette Dirks talked about the concept of “there’s only one you.” They brainstormed what to do with the concept. Open a women’s boutique? Start a publication? Establish a business?

Then it hit them. “We decided to use our extensive trade show experience to hold a women focused expo that shows each woman there’s only one you,” said Jensen. Lynnette adds “My motto has always been – There’s only one you…uniquely be you!”

With an abundance of women-focused and family-friendly businesses throughout the Twin Cities, the first There’s Only 1 You Women’s Expo was held in Stillwater, MN on April 23, 2011. The expo returned to Applewood Hills Golf Course in Stillwater, Minnesota, on Saturday, October 8, 2011.

To accommodate an expanding vendor base, Only 1 You Womens Expo moved to Water Street Inn, downtown Stillwater and become a two-day event, April 13-14, 2012 featuring a Charity Wine & Dessert Fashion Show that highlighted downtown Stillwater fashion boutiques and independent women-owned businesses in a energetic runway of fashions and accessories. The evening’s ticket sales were completely donated to FamilyMeans, giving them a $5000 donation, that was then matched by FamilyMeans to benefit their Cimarron Youth Program.

The There is Only 1 You Women’s Expo returns to Water Street Inn November 10, 2012, featuring 60 women-owned businesses. The all-ages event is free to attend. Guests will have the opportunity to speak with exhibitors, win fun prizes, and view product/service demonstrations, purchase merchandise and have fun. Buy from these independent and local women-owned businesses and get your holiday shopping done.

The There’s Only 1 You Expo will feature local entrepreneurs from various industries including health, wellness, fashion, jewelry, anti-aging, image consulting and financial planning.

“We envision this Women’s Expo as a way to share multiple products and services with women of all ages and interests, opening their minds, bodies and spirits. We want our guests to find new resources, business opportunities and ideas but most of all to walk away with a sense of empowerment and renewal that they are going to make a change for the better in their lives,” share Stacie & Lynnette.

Local business owners and entrepreneurs can network and gain new clients and customers.
