The biggest family event of the year, the PE Express First Choice Kids and Baby Expo will represent a wide variety of kid’s fashion, education and décor ideas for children when it takes place at the Boardwalk Exhibition centre from Friday to Sunday, October 5 to 7.
Exhibitors will be coming from far and wide to join Port Elizabeth businesses and showcase their products. Among these are Legs Heaven coming from Johannesburg, Mühelos Baby travel systems from Rustenberg, Hich South Africa clothing from Cape Town, and Bizzy Minds with their handcrafted activity books and toys joining us from Hartenbos.
“PE Express First Choice Kids & Baby Expo is an outing for the whole family – great entertainment for the kids, and an informative break for parents to chat one-on-one with top family friendly businesses and take advantage of many expo specials,” said Expo Director, Linda Harwood.
Exhibitors include expert businesses on how to boost children on all levels – physically, through emotional intelligence, concentration and even entrepreneurial skills via touch, workshops and educational programmes.
In addition, top local schools, hospital and healthcare professionals, financial, photography, décor and furniture, crafts and toys will be showcased.
