This Weekend was AMAZING!! I'm still in awe of gathering over 50 black-owned small businesses, and coming together in such a climate as this. I was on the edge of my seat leading up to the BP Events PopUp Shop Tour - Joliet. Between praying for the vendors success and sell their products, to Covid and placing the right safety measures in place, to praying we wouldn't have to cancel, to calling the hotel daily speaking with the GM. It was bananas, but as a Planner, I live for the challenges and seeing them transpire into praises.
THANK YOU BEYOND THANK YOU to my hometown, Joliet, Illinois coming to support the biggest PopUp Shop to hit Joliet. You shared, you came, you supported, and you shopped. There's way too many to name, but THANK YOU for being there. To the VENDORS, THANK YOU for participating in our first PopUp Shop. To those who drove/flew the distance (Chicago, Indiana, Wisconsin, Vegas and more) BIG THANKS! The PopUp Shop would not have been successful without your support. Shout out to Nice Shot Eddie for taking photos. You captured each business and some. THANK YOU! If you need a photographer be sure to contact him. Eddie Lee Jackson Jr
