Hey Froggy 102.7 listeners! Looking for something fun to do with the kids tomorrow that doesn’t break the bank? We’ve got you covered!

Free Family Fun + Amazing Prizes = Perfect Wednesday Plan

Calling all busy moms! If you’re scrambling for Wednesday plans after school pickup, we’ve found the perfect solution. The Latin Business Expo is happening tomorrow, September 10th from 11 AM to 8 PM at the Northern Indiana Event Center in Elkhart, and it’s completely FREE for families!

What’s In It for You (And Your Wallet)?

Let’s be real – between work and kids, we’re always looking for activities that give us the most bang for our buck. This expo delivers:

Free Entertainment:

• Dancing horse show at 5:30 PM (your kids will be mesmerized!)
• Over 60 vendor booths to explore
• Business workshops in both English and Spanish

Free Food:

• The first 150 kids get FREE ice cream from Tropicana Ice Cream Shop
• Skip your usual dinner prep and grab authentic food from local food trucks like Pinyo’s Kitchen and Garnacha Grill

Free Prizes:

• First 150 families receive TWO tickets for a chance to win a Nintendo Switch 2 or Amazon Fire Tablet
• Additional giveaways from booth vendors and the South Bend Cubs

Supporting Local Latino Businesses (And Finding Your New Favorites)

As working moms, we know the value of supporting businesses that understand our community. This expo features bilingual businesses offering everything you actually need:

• Cosmetics and beauty services (because self-care shouldn’t require a translator)
• Children’s programs (always hunting for quality activities for the kids)
• Financial services (bilingual financial advice is invaluable)
• Party decorations (birthday party season never ends, does it?)
• Art and crafts (perfect for those Pinterest projects you keep meaning to start)

New This Year: The Startup Showcase

The expo now features a dedicated area for new entrepreneurs and business owners. This is perfect if you’re:

• Looking for unique services in your area
• Considering starting your own side business
• Want to support brand-new local ventures

Perfect Timing for Busy Families

When: TODAY, September 10, 2025, 11 AM – 8 PM
Where: Northern Indiana Event Center, 21565 Executive Pkwy, Elkhart, IN 46514
Cost: FREE admission

The 9-hour window means you can swing by after work, during lunch, or make it a family dinner destination. No need to rush!

Business Support for Entrepreneurial Moms

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own business (and what working mom hasn’t considered it?), the expo offers business support and guidance. You can schedule appointments with sponsors and partners to get specific questions answered about entrepreneurship.

The workshops cover business topics in both English and Spanish with simultaneous interpretation, making them accessible regardless of your preferred language.

Make It a Fun Family Outing

This isn’t just another boring business event. With entertainment for kids, delicious food, and genuine community connection, it’s the kind of outing that checks multiple boxes:

• ✅ Educational for you
• ✅ Fun for the kids
• ✅ Free (your budget will thank you)
• ✅ Supports local businesses
• ✅ Potential to win amazing prizes

Getting There

The Northern Indiana Event Center is easily accessible at 21565 Executive Pkwy in Elkhart. With free admission and free parking, your only expense is whatever delicious food catches your eye!

Pro tip: Arrive early to ensure your family gets those Nintendo Switch 2 raffle tickets and your kids get their free ice cream!

Why This Matters

In our busy lives, it’s easy to forget about the incredible diversity of businesses right in our backyard. The Latin Business Expo showcases the entrepreneurial spirit and cultural richness of our Latino community while providing practical services we all need.

Plus, in a world where everything costs more each month, a completely free family event with prizes and food? That’s what we call a win-win.
