BATON ROUGE — Roberts United Methodist Church held its Small Business and Entrepreneurship Summit event Saturday, connecting residents with local businesses.
The free family-friendly event gave residents the opportunity to shop, eat and connect while exploring various types of small businesses in the area, including candy and treats, crafts, books and decorating, and professional and community services.
“We have businesses from all over the Denham Springs and Baton Rouge area that are here to highlight the services they provide,” said Daphne Donaldson, chair of the church’s Education Committee. “We’re trying to support small businesses in the community and that’s why we’re doing this.”
The small business event is the first in a series with a health fair scheduled for October.
