The annual Autumn Jamboree in the Town of Bluefield features small businesses

Bluefield, Virginia – Even though we still have a ways to go until fall officially arrives, Bluefield, Virginia residents got their fall celebration started early on Saturday with the return of the annual Autumn Jamboree to downtown Bluefield.

With vendors setting up shop and inflatables, games, and food all over the place, there was no shortage of things to see and do. Participating local businesses included the Roasted Bean, who sold roasted corn from a booth outside their restaurant.

Newcomer Cuddlies by Brandi, who sold her handmade toys at the jamboree and directed attendees to her Etsy store, was one of many returning and new entrepreneurs who set up shop there. If other small merchants are looking for a way to market their businesses, she says the Autumn Jamboree is a great option.

“Raise awareness about you. It is, in essence, advertising. Without trying it out, you have no idea what you’re capable of, thus I highly suggest it to everyone. I am thoroughly enjoying it thus far, and it is my first time. “To be honest, it’s been fantastic,” remarks Brandi Lewis of Cuddlies by Brandi.

In addition to a gladiator joust and musical music, the Autumn Jamboree had an amusement park attraction.
