Our booth at EXPO or…”is that a toy”?
Personal highlights included a surprise visit from my fiance’s daughter Sadie (pictured here with me) and spending an evening with one of my best childhood friends after the show was over; an amazing dinner we were treated to by one of our main importers of the best Indian food I’ve ever had in the US – you really must make an effort to go to Tandoori Garden at 30 South Anaheim Blvd (Rob pictured here with the Saag Shrimp); our fastest and most efficient set-up/break-down (i had nothing to do with either…) and leaving EXPO with all of our product samples sold; meeting the greatest number of new customers and interested parties from press to the Miss America organization, to many discriminating independent retailers, to larger natural foods stores that we’ve ever harnessed in a single show; and for me – watching Jared, Rob and Andrea in action. I was one really lucky person, working with a blue chip team, committed to changing the way you think about loose leaf tea ;-o
