The four-hour event, held from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., welcomed the public to meet officials and personnel who represent and work at various offices within Tioga County. The Expo featured a snapshot of the services available to county residents.<\/p>\n

Martha Sauerbrey, Tioga County Legislative chair, noted, \u201cThis is a great way to learn about the services we provide, and meet the people who help provide them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tables were set up inside at 70 Delphine St. in Owego, N.Y., a site used as a wash bay for county trucks. Garage doors were open for visitors to gather for a meet-and-greet that allowed residents to interact and collect various information and brochures, as well as browse free takeaways.<\/p>\n
