Second Annual NY Show is a Hit!
I spent one of my days of vacation at the Annual New York Produce Show. What a great opportunity
for those in the business to network and experience new ways to promote healthy lifestyles.
Besides the networking, I thought the show was great because those in the industry traded information, discussed different ideologies, and exchanged best in practice tactics to success. How cool is that?
It is cool because not many industries trade information and are open to sharing some of the keys to
their success. It is cool because this group of produce professionals are truly focused on providing safe, sustainable foods for the consumer.
The Eastern Produce Council (EPC) was the sponsor of this event and once again did a fabulous job of creating a great venue to showcase this event.
I was impressed with the turnout of people from across the country and was equally impressed by the size of the event..... my feet, however, were not so impressed.
Marianne and I walked the floor of the three exhibition rooms and at every turn we were made aware at how proud we were to be apart of this industry!
We look forward to next year's event and our feet.....well they look forward to flat, comfortable shoe options.
