It's Almost Here​! The Pink Event™ 2012 Amazes This Saturday

The Pink Event™ bursts onto the scene this Saturday, March 3, at the Holiday Inn in Laurel, Md., featuring specialized vendors and mini-inspirational sessions that promote women empowerment.

The annual one-day expo (from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) will have 25 women-focused merchants, providing everything from wickless candles, jewelry, and stationary to clothes, hair care, accessories and anti-cellulite products. The first 75 attendees will receive a "pink swag bag" filled with gift certificates, coupons, and other goodies.

Komen for the Cure® and the House of Ruth Maryland.
