“MADE IN CLOVIS” RETURNS TO CLOVISFEST

The 3rd annual celebration of innovation and inspiration is scheduled to take place during ClovisFest 2023.

Clovis, CA, August 3, 2023 – Clovis community leaders announced that the Made In Clovis section of ClovisFest is back for its third year. Coming off a very successful event the past two years, Made In Clovis is a showcase and celebration for those who have seized the entrepreneurial spirit and developed their own products, services, inventions and business flair that they want to share with the world. Participants will be featured in a special section of ClovisFest in Old Town Clovis on September 23 & 24, 2023.

Tech experts, crafters, tinkerers, food artisans, hobbyists, engineers, science buffs, artists, students, and commercial organizations are encouraged to participate to show off their items, inventions, or ideas in the categories of technology, food, crafts, and more. There’s even a kid’s section for those under 18 years old. For more information on kids registration information please visit http://www.cvye.org or email cbffresnoclovis@gmail.com.

This event is not limited to just start-ups. Existing businesses that have developed innovative processes to create goods are also invited to participate. “Made In Clovis is a great opportunity for up-and-coming entrepreneurs to sell their products, interact with the public and gain valuable feedback that will help them succeed. Participants from the past two years have gone on to great success that was ignited by participating in the Made In Clovis event. We are excited to see what this year’s participants will showcase. There is always something unexpected and amazing. We expect to fill all spaces again this year, so I encourage anyone interested in participating to register as soon as possible.” said Shawn Miller, City of Clovis Business Development Manager.

Accepted participants will receive a booth space in the Made In Clovis section of ClovisFest at a minimal cost. During the event, selected participants will be visited by local business leaders, mentors, city officials, and entrepreneurs who will evaluate each participant and select several to receive follow-up mentoring, training and resources to further expand their business/invention or idea.
