U.S. Olympian and former NFL Player Johnny Quinn will be the featured speaker at the upcoming “Vendor Blender” hosted by the Navasota Grimes County Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, March 28, from 4:30 to 7pm. Held at the Grimes County Expo Center, the Vendor Blender is a free community event. Chamber members will be there to meet the public and share information about their businesses. In addition, some of the local companies that are hiring will be collecting resumes from job seekers.
Johnny Quinn will be on hand to speak to both the children in attendance and the audience as a whole regarding his experience as an olympian, former professional football player, and small business owner. Quinn is a TEDx Talk presenter who has spoken to thousands of people with an inspirational message of patriotism and striving for a goal. Johnny will be handing out autographed bobsleds for free and will also have his book, Push, available for purchase.
“This is a chance for our community to come out and meet a true U.S. Olympian, shake hands and pose for pictures,” offers Johnny McNally, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. “Johnny Quinn is an excellent speaker who has a fascinating life story that I believe will resonate with children, parents, and our business owners alike. The Vendor Blender is a family friendly event and our members are excited to have Mr. Quinn here and to have the public come out and enjoy all the festivities.”
