Women who participate in this Saturday’s Women’s Expo will hear motivational speakers, have an opportunity to visit with 32 vendors who cater to women, and can win door prizes from 27 local businesses.

Sponsored by the Women’s Advisory Board at Andalusia Regional Hospital, the event is being organized by board members Linda Ward, Fran Davidson and Dianne Curry, the expo, who are encouraging their women friends to take time to put themselves first.

The first 250 women to walk through the door will receive a goody bag, and there are light lunches also available for 200 people.

Nancy Dove will kick off the event with a motivational talk, and local doctors and mammography technicians will be on hand to talk casually with women who have questions.

“That really, is so important,” Ward said. “There are so many women who really have never had a conversation with a doctor.”
