Women, Wine & Wellness (August)
The objective of Women, Wine & Wellness is to provide opportunities for local businesses and the women of Central Illinois. For local businesses, the opportunity is the ability to expose a product or service to a targeted audience. Not only can businesses interact face-to-face with potential customers, they can also create a lasting impression of their brand that may generate even more business. For the women of Central Illinois, the opportunity is the ability to have a safe, stress free, night out where they can learn about living a healthier life, sample wine, enjoy live entertainment, shop for new beauty products, get their hair styled, participate in free health screening, and much more. The Decatur Civic Center will recruit businesses that can create a fun and interactive experience for the attendees.
