YAAAAAYY!!!!! In the last post I left off by saying that I was really hoping that I would be chosen to be a Blogger/Official Blogger at the GFAF Expo in Schaumburg, IL; I got the email yesterday!
This is a ridiculously HUGE deal for me because of my chronic illnesses, chronic pain, and multiple autoimmune disorders. I have not had the courage to really step out there and do anything "big" as a "Blogger". The right door opened at the right time and I actually had the courage to step through it this time. Wish us luck, keep my health in your thoughts/prayers and let's talk EXPO!!!!
BFree Foods is the Blogger Sponsor so I am extremely grateful to them and everyone else involved for making this possible! And I have been dying to taste their products forever!
In the last post I explained why I was SO Excited and why this event was important to me. I will go over "What" the Expo is about and the exact address, I will also give you more information on ticket sales and a VERY Special Offer!
#1 - What the Expo is all about:
The GFAF Expos are the largest and fastest growing special diet consumer events in the US. Started in 2007, the events are professionally managed and have expanded from one to eight cities throughout the United States. In addition to meeting the needs of the Celiac community, the Expo welcomes those with gluten sensitivities, auto-immune/inflammatory diseases and autism.
#2 - The Mission:
The Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo is dedicated to meeting the needs of the celiac community, those with gluten and food sensitivities, autoimmune/inflammatory diseases, and autism. The public is helped through vendor expositions, educational sessions, and online resources. The manufacturers are serviced through vendor expositions, marketing programs, and consultative services.
#3 - What you will receive with the purchase of your tickets:
- Entry into the vendor fair with over 100 brands
- Valuable coupons at the vendor booths
- Samples from the vendors are considered to be gluten free.
