This past weekend we participated in our very first food show! The show was called Beneath the Wreath which is organized by a great group of women at the Junior League of Grand Rapids Michigan. Being our first show, we really didn’t know what to expect so we packed our cars with literally every jar and sample we had available in our warehouse and drove it all to the show.
After setting up our booth on Thursday afternoon, we stayed at a local hotel and eagerly awaited the start of the show the next morning. Needless to say, Beyond the Shaker was a HUGE hit! The first day we sold out completely of our Garlic Shallot blend, and the second day we were totally depleted of Chef’s Blend (no one could resist the mouth-watering thought of rubbing some on a juicy steak before throwing it on the grill).
In front of each of our salts we had a little bowl with some of the salt in it for “sniffing” which worked out very well. Everyone was really impressed by how great they smelled.
On the final day of the show we pretty much sold every single jar we had left which made packing up and coming home a breeze. All-in-all it was a great experience, and we expect to be back next year with even more jars to ensure there is enough salt available to keep all of the folks in Grand Rapids happy.
Thanks to everyone who supported us, and bought jars of salt! Please leave any comments or feedback below as we love to hear testimonials from your salty adventures.
We are pleased to take part this year in the Michigan International Women’s Show from April 28- May 1, 2011 at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, Michigan (46100 Grand River Avenue 48374). For more information check out this link – and feel free to come on down to say hi to us in booth 630. The show runs from 10am-7pm on Thursday, 10am-9pm on Friday, 10am-7pm on Saturday and 10am-5pm on Sunday. Based on the fun we had last year, there is no doubt it will be even a better time for us in in 2011! See you there!
