The Ulster Regional Chamber of Commerce took over the county's Business Expo, rebranding it as "Buy Local." Last Friday, the expo drew over 70 local firms and agencies to set up booths in SUNY Ulster's gymnasium.

"You just leave at lunch time and tell them you're coming to this," a savvy attendee explains, "Come here and walk around eating chocolates and seeing all the cool stuff everyone's been getting up to lately, and you're done for the week. Totally painless."
