Organizers of the first A Woman’s Life Expo, a fundraiser for Garden of Empowerment, said the event was a success. Sue Wilson, founder of Garden of Empowerment, said all 78 exhibitors who were scheduled to attend came out Saturday to Central Park’s indoor event facility. Mostly women-owned businesses, Wilson said the exhibitors brought a variety of goods and services to the some 300 attendees.
