For years I have scrolled through social media to see gluten free and allergy friendly trade shows all over the country, except for my hometown. It has been sad and frustrating that there hasn’t been a show here. Seattle isn’t a small town in the middle of nowhere, it’s a major metropolitan city! Two years ago, my husband and I traveled down to Portland, OR. to attend and host a booth at the GFFAFEST. It still wasn’t close enough to home for me, I wanted one in my own city. Last spring, I heard that we were FINALLY getting a gluten free and allergy friendly trade show in my home town: Nourished Festival. YAY!! This is something I have looked forward to for a long time and am thrilled to not only attend as a blogger sponsor, but also as a speaker. I’m honored and really excited to be at this event and I’d love to have you join me there. You can purchase tickets for 30% off through September 20th by using the code: EARLYBIRD Please let me know if you decide to go, I would love the chance to meet you.
When my daughters and I go to Costco on sample day, it’s like a game for us to see who can actually eat any of the samples offered. For those of us with multiple food allergies, intolerances, and celiac disease, eating Costco samples is nearly impossible. Going to the Nourished Festival will be like the Disneyland samples of gluten free, allergy friendly, vegan, paleo, keto, and plant based food. My girls cannot wait to attend the event and be able to eat their way through the event. They have never experienced a place that they will be able to eat so many foods. If you are anything like them, you don’t want to miss this event!
I love attending gluten free and allergy friendly trade shows to find all the new amazing companies and products on the market. There are so many amazing brands out there, but it can be heard to sift through so many. An event like this is the best place to find what is new, ask questions, and of course sample their products. It’s also fun to see our most favorite gluten free and allergy friendly brands that we have loved for many years like Enjoy Life Foods, Made Good, Hilary’s Eat Well, and many others. At the festival this year, I love that they have added a paleo, vegan, keto, and plant based areas. So many of people’s food needs cross over into one or more of these areas as well. I think this festival is fit for anyone and if you don’t think so, I bet it fits for someone you know. As a way to love them, come join us and invite them too! 🙂
Please follow along with me on September 21 & 22 as I will be posting in my Instagram Stories all about the event while I am there. I can’t wait to tell you all about the new brands I find, the information I learn through the classes I will attend, and what the favorite brands we’ve had for many years are up to these days. I’ll be sure to tell you everything once the festival is over in one blog post as well. You won’t want to miss it, it’s going to be great.
I mentioned that there will be classes at the Nourished Festival as well. There are a few classes each day that you’ll want to be sure to attend. I have been given the opportunity to speak on Sunday September 22 from 12-1pm on Baking and Cooking free from the top 8 allergens and gluten. It would be wonderful if you would attend my class! I am happy to answer any questions you may have during my class so come prepared with any you may have. Thanks for supporting me in this way, I can’t wait to see you all at the event! Again, be sure to buy your tickets ahead of time for 30% off by using the code: EARLYBIRD As always, let me know if you have any questions.
