Gluten-Free Living Now Expo (Day 3)
October 10, 2011
Greetings from Peoria!
Yes, Cassie and I are back in Peoria after a wonderful weekend in Carmel Indiana!
The final day of the expo was jam-packed with events, guest speakers, and lectures once again today. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces mixed with some new ones as well. 
It’s always interesting to start out on a new adventure, whether it’s on your home turf, or 4.5 hours away from home. Cassie and I had not previously done a trade show of this magnitude. So, it was a definite learning process for the both of us. We learned so much from the attendees, and from the other vendors at the show. One thing is for sure though,–I feel that I have grown exponentially in a few areas of my own personal and professional life.
The Apple’s Gluten Free Kitchen sold out of our Vegan Pumpkin Muffins. It’s a wonderful feeling to see your products fly off the table-be it samples or for-sale items. It reassured me that we are doing something right. There’s a demand to meet the customer’s needs, and by-golly, I know we’ve done that!
There’s still a lot to process about this weekend, but I, for one, can not wait to get back in the saddle and to see what other great adventures the Apple’s Gluten Free team will have next!
Until next time,
Amy Carbonneau
