BINGHAMTON — People lassoing a cow and walking around in cowboy hats are just a couple of the interesting things visitors saw at Thursday’s 26th annual Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce Expo at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.
Curcio Printing of Vestal engaged attendees with a chance to win a cowboy hat by lassoing a cow statue. Down the aisle from The Business Journal booth, Smith-Ingalls-French, a Binghamton–based promotional-products company, attracted passers by with loud toys, called POP displays.
All 100 booths were sold out for this year’s expo and a wide variety businesses and nonprofits participated, including local colleges, hotels, restaurants, real-estate agencies, and financial-services firms, to name a few.

“That’s why we continue to hold this show,” Lou Santoni, president of the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce, said in opening remarks.
