Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce hosted a business expo on Feb. 17 to promote chamber members. With over 20 businesses, the expo showcased many of Fallbrook's stores and shops with a range of goods and services to be found here.

The Baking it Up Collective brought delicious pastries for everyone in attendance to sample. Kelly Siegler, the owner, started to bake pastries at home to sell in 2017. In 2020, Joanna Costello joined her team, adding sourdough and her own spin on the treats that had been gaining popularity. They opened a storefront in 2021, where they are open for catering Local Events. Siegler and Costello are excited to announce that they will also be in the Avocado Festival, a perfect time to support local businesses.

Moonlite Chic Boutique has been fundraising for nonprofits through its business for over four years. Sarah Holt, the owner of the home based boutique, sells clothes under the LulaRoe name. Holt is at the Fallbrook Farmers Market every Saturday, and the current nonprofit sales are going to the Fallbrook Food Pantry.

Atlas Wildfire Defense Solutions has been in Fallbrook for eight months. The business offers a uniquely Fallbrook service: preventive wildfire safety measures, done on homes. "We're helping protect our natural resources," Randy Vance said of his business. He and Kier Caballos work to install fireproof vents, firebreaks, exterior sprinkler systems, and more to homes in the Fallbrook area. With the wildfire season approaching, fire safety is becoming increasingly more important as the dry season approaches.

Roofix, another local Fallbrook business, has been roofing for around two years. The husband-wife duo, Sergio and Laura Lopez, offer all types of roofing in the Fallbrook area: concrete roof tiles, clay roof tiles, shingles, and more.

Karen Trapane, of Trapane Group LLC, has been in Fallbrook since 2019 with her dual business of art classes and environmental health and safety consulting. The art classes offer a wide range of group activities, designed for families, groups of friends, work events, and more. The home studio is designed for any kind of intuitive art expression workshops, which fundraise for local charities.

Also in attendance were Miss Teen Fallbrook Hannah Burke and Miss Teen Fallbrook Second Princess Olivia Harvey. These local Fallbrook businesses are excited to serve their community through fundraisers and other local sponsorships.
