“We’re here to bring business and education in the community together,” Krueger said. “This is designed to appreciate local educators. It strengthens that bond so we all can support each other.”

A number of sponsors donated items and gift baskets that filled at least half-dozen booths during the event. The goodies were doled out as giveaways and raffle-ticket prizes.
