  Entertaining Made Easy Expo returns to Lubbock Market Street locations with new twist

   

  LUBBOCK, Texas — The United Family is proud to announce the return of its annual Entertaining Made Easy Expo at all Market Street locations across Texas on Sunday, November 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

   

  However, this year’s expo will feature culinary and floral teams from three Lubbock-area school districts, Lubbock ISD, Lubbock-Cooper ISD, and Frenship ISD.

   

  As in the past, guests will have the opportunity to explore the latest offerings Market Street has available, but with a new twist, thanks to these local culinary students. In addition to special samples and displays from Market Street team members, the student culinary teams will each have their own displays and tablescapes featuring unique recipes, decorations, and food geared towards holiday celebrations.

   

  From artisan bread to custom party trays to holiday-inspired baked goods, Market Street team members and local culinary students will show guests how to take the stress out of planning holiday gatherings. Guests can browse different departments, student displays, and sample items like Chantilly Cake, the Butter Pecan Cheese Ball, Sausage balls, and more.

   

  In addition to samples and special displays, guests who attend the Entertaining Made Easy Expo will have an opportunity to win a $250 gift card to get their holiday shopping started off right; and they can vote for their favorite school district’s display. The teams are competing for bragging rights along with a $1,000 prize and custom chef coats/floral aprons, courtesy of Market Street.

   

  “Our annual Holiday Expo is a showcase of the exceptional ways our Market Street teams can enhance any seasonal celebration,” said Chris James, Chief Operating Officer of The United Family. “From artisanal bakery creations and gourmet deli offerings to elegant floral arrangements, guests are sure to discover inspiring ideas and premium products that will elevate their holiday gatherings.”

   

  The United Family encourages guests throughout Lubbock and surrounding communities to visit one of our Market Streets this Sunday to discover something new for this holiday season and vote for their favorite student display.
