This event is designed to showcase Veteran-owned businesses to the public to stimulate support of Veteran businesses, entrepreneurs and franchisees.
“We are inviting companies and individuals to support our Veterans by attending the Expo to connect with Veteran businesses that provide a diverse array of services and products,” said Regina Rembert, U.S. Army (Retired), CEO, Think Veterans First. “The event is the largest of its kind in Ohio – by Vets for Vets.”
Veteran Owned and Veteran Friendly Business Owners will showcase their services or products on table-top displays from which they can engage with Expo attendees.
The VetOHIOExpo also features a variety of speakers, raffles and entertainment during the afternoon. This year we are supporting “Stockhand Horses for Healing” that honors our veterans by providing hands on Esquestrian therapy. Donations for Stockhands will be accepted and very much appreciated.

This event is open to the Public, all are welcome and invited. Come out to meet and support your veteran owned businesses who support you in our communities.
“Veteran business owners have served their country with honor and distinction and have returned home to serve others in their communities. They deserve our respect, admiration and support,” said Rembert.
