The Chamber of Commerce’s favorite showcase, the annual Culver Expo, will be staged Wednesday afternoon at the Vets Auditorium, at the intersection of Culver Boulevard and Overland Avenue.

As with all public events since last September, Culver Expo will be linked to Culver City’s Centennial celebration.

Admission is free to the massive three-hour display of wares that begins at 3:30.

Culver Expo will mark one of the final programs by Chamber of Commerce CEO Steve Rose, who has announced his retirement.

“Taste of the Chamber” will include restaurants, grocery stores and yet-to- open restaurants

Among the favorites:

George Petrelli’s Steak House, Copenhagen Pastry, Catalini’s Express, Pieology, Ococoa, Jennifer Pennifer Bakes, coffees by Bar Nine and, finally, the yet-to-open Harajuku Taproom.

Displays will include products from Culver City’s leading hotels, Doubletree by Hilton, Courtyard by Marriott, and the Four Points by Sheraton.

One of the popular attractions of Culver Expo is meeting the people associated with new businesses and service-providers.
