The third annual Fresno Food Expo doesn't come until next week, but changes for the fourth food expo in 2014 have already been announced.

The expo will be moved to July 24 next year to accommodate peach, plum, grape and other growers who don't have ripe produce available at this time of year. Mayor Ashley Swearengin announced the change Wednesday at Johanson Transportation Service, a company that helps growers ship their products.

She also announced a three-year partnership between the expo and San Francisco-based Union Bank.

Union Bank will become a sponsor of the food expo. The partnership also includes a commitment by the bank to growing the region's businesses, with access to lending and tech support.
