The fourth annual Beauty, Health and Wellness Expo will take place April 9, from 1 to 5 p.m., at Renegades Stadium Parking Lot in Dutchess (rain date April 10). The expo is family friendly, and admission is free.

Ramon Pineiro, president of I Love Local Rewards, which is presenting the expo, says he is still accepting vendor applications. “The expo celebrates the small local businesses that help us stay healthy and shining. We have 60 businesses on our program and are always willing to accept any business that would like to support our mission.”

While the expo showcases products and services to improve the lives of Hudson Valley residents, this year’s event gives visitors a chance to return the favor by helping out small businesses that may have struggled during the pandemic, Pineiro says.

“Now more than ever it is important to support our local small businesses because they supported us during these hard times,” he says. “You may also find a new favorite business for products or services you need, from candles and meal planning to yoga and spinal decompression. This is a great way to meet business owners in your area and support the local economy.”

The I Love Local Rewards program offers discounts to customers supporting small local businesses.
