Have you heard the news through the grapevine yet that the Charlotte Gluten/Allergen Free Expo 2012 planning is underway? And did you hear that we will be graced with the presence of national royalty?!?
Well, it's all true!
Because of the support you all have given the yearly Charlotte event, we are having to expand the space again by double. You have my sincere gratitude for making our work effective.
But, this means we will now be moving into The Park Expo Center on Independence and Briarcliff Rd.. or as Charlotteans always think of it, the Merchandise Mart building, where they have the Southern Women's Show.
This move will give us 40,000 sq. ft. of space to expand into because after each event, we all say, "We need a bigger space next year."

Nonetheless, we again have you to thank for giving us a new bar to rise to each year.

Our goals for these events are to educate, bring new products to the public, focus on the Main Street Vendors that have become the manufacturers of tomorrow's gluten/allergen free market, and to raise awareness wherever we are that these health issues have viable solutions in the form of nutrition & supplementation.
