La Mesa Chamber members came together to entertain guests and attendees at the final expo of the year, the 4th Annual “Summer Bash” Business Expo. Businesses and food vendors began arriving at 3:30 p.m. to set up at the La Mesa Community Center preparing for the evening’s festivities on Thursday, August 17th, 2017.

All of our food and beverage providers brought their “A” game and served delicious samples from their restaurants/businesses to the delight of our guests. We thank our dedicated evening food and beverage sponsors: Brew Coffee Spot, Cali Comfort BBQ, Cucina Basilico, Dream Dinners, Himalayan Cuisine, Los Pinos Taco Shop, Luna Grill, Marie Callender’s – La Mesa, Nonno’s Ristorante Italiano, Pick Up Stix, Riviera Supper Club, Samuel Adams, Sycuan Casino, The Hills Local Pub, The Regal Bar and Valley Farm Market.

The networking was fast and furious and the buzz in the room grew throughout the evening, as people continued to arrive. All of our participating businesses were hot on the microphone, as they announced the winners of their FREE door prizes – over 44 were given away!
