Eat!Vancouver - The Marathon Begins

Today was day one of Eat!Vancouver. The largest food and cooking festival in Canada and for the second year in a row, we are part of it. Yesterday's set up went remarkable well - my booth was only missing its carpet - which was easily rectified. Today everyone actually arrived on time and the finishing touches took no time at all. We are beside our good buddies from Quesnel Community + Economic Development Corporation and we took the separator down to make the space look bigger. Makes it easier to share and help out. Sweet Tree Ventures is also here and sharing our space with their Birch Syrup.

We are a busy group - we have llama jerky, pepperoni and garlic coil samples, birch syrup samples, birch syrup fudge samples and then mining equipment to try out. We have flyers, books, magazines, a recipe book and maps to the Cariboo to hand out. And yes, we do have a kitchen sink! (In the alley behind the booth). With six of us in the space we thought we would have lots of time to walk around - HA!! It takes at least four people at any time to man our booth. We have something for everyone!!

I'll get some better photos tomorrow but here's Sarah in the booth today.
