SYCAMORE — Dale Kalenhaus wanted to know what DeKalb County companies had to offer.
So the St.Charles resident came to Sycamore on Tuesday for the 11th Annual Kishwaukee Valley Business to Business Trade Show.
"I don't live too far, and I've often thought of moving this direction," said Kalenhaus, who is 62. "I just like to check things out."
Eighty-four local businesses, ranging from banks to health-care facilities, set up booths at the DeKalb County Farm Bureau.
"We want to entice businesses to come, visit and network with other businesses," said Rose Treml, executive director of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce. "This is not a money-maker for us. It's simply something we do for local companies."
Anyone can visit the business expo, Treml said, but participants are limited to those members of the Sycamore and DeKalb chambers of commerce.
Booths at the venue Tuesday featured food samples, office supply giveaways, games and informational brochures.
Jesus Romero was stationed behind a table cooking samples of his cuisine from his Sycamore restaurant, Taxco. Tuesday's expo gives business owners a chance to see what other local companies are up to, he said.
"It's a time for the whole community and the county to network and showcase what they can do," Romero said. "There are a lot of businesses in the community and you don't always know what they do. This is a good way to find out what local companies have to offer."
Kim Zamora, Bethany Healthcare & Rehab Center marketing coordinator, agreed. She was at the trade show to inform attendees of the array of services that Bethany Healthcare provides.
"It's always important to network in the community," she said. "You can see old friends, make new friends and make connections."
