The 1st Annual Roanoke Holiday Career and Lifestyle Fair TODAY was productive as between 800 - 1000 job seekers attended the event. Fifty (50) exhibitors were in attendance and their early feedback was positive.

Also, 6 media outlets were present today, including all three TV stations. WDBJ 7 was also live this morning promoting the event.

There are too many people to name who made this event possible, however, special thanks goes to the person who generated the idea - Darlene Burcham, City of Roanoke City Manager, and the sponsor MyHometownJobs.com and WDBJ7.
