Presented by the Delaware Small Business Chamber

The Delaware Small Business Chamber(DSBC) is North Delaware’s biggest advocate for small businesses. Founder Bob Older envisioned doing something BIG, NEW and EXCITING to make an impact and create awareness for the small business community in Delaware on Small Business Saturday, November 29th. Bob pondered and a CONVOY came to mind. Thinking outside the box! This had never been done before – a simply unique, fun and creative way to engage potential customers. Small business owners with decorated or wrapped vehicles hosting their business logos coming together for a small business vehicle parade – honking and cruising from Prices Corner to Possum Park and back, showing their LOCAL SMALL spirit and introducing you to their business. Sounds pretty honking fun to us!

November 29, 2014 will be the 2^nd Annual Small Business Saturday DSBC Convoy

This year the Middletown Chamber will host a Convoy of their own simultaneously with the DSBC. Bob’s goal is to grow this Convoy across the small wonder, state-wide! Hint! You don’t have to be a member of either Chamber to participate. Convoy participants as of today include: Cartridge World, Blue Hen Bed & Breakfast, Weichert Realtor-Lou Deyenno, Creative Travel, Kona Ice of Elkton and Newark, Kathy Dematteis Massage Therapist, Juice Plus – Marilyn DelDuca, Unique Home Staging, and the Entertainment Factory.
