Early bird registration has opened for a new fall trade show of the Cochrane and District Chamber of Commerce.

It's a two-day show being held at the Cochrane Lions Event Centre on Oct. 21-22.

Chamber executive director Kelly Carson emphasizes it's not a Christmas show and is purposely being held in October to avoid conflict with other long-standing Christmas shows.

He says vendors expressed interest in participating a fall show who don't sell Christmas products.

Carson anticipates 50 to 60 vendors will be participating.

Early bird pricing ends on Aug. 31.
