It's Gluten Free Expo Season

With spring approaching that means it's GLUTEN FREE EXPO time!  I'm so pumped to be going to so many this year.  GF Expos are a wonderful opportunity to try new GF products and meet great GF people. It is freeing to attend events where everything is Gluten Free!

Tips for Attending a Gluten Free Expo:

1- Wear good shoes and comfortable clothes

2- Bring a big bag to carry brochures and samples

3- Take sandwich size plastic bags to put samples in to eat later

4 – Walk the whole room before you buy products, you don’t want to have to carry what you buy around for hours

5- Pace yourself.  You do not have to eat everything!  If it doesn’t taste good – don’t eat it.

6- Pick up the coupons.  Many vendors had very good coupons for their products.

7 – If there is a line at one booth skip it and come back later

8 – And most importantly – Go Hungry!

I hope to see many of you at these wonderful events!
