Don’t forget that the Suffolk County Gluten-Free Vendor Fair is this Sunday June 11th. This is your chance to nibble on samples before you buy newly discovered gluten-free treats. Several of the many toothesome enterprises are from out of state! Plus, host Comfy Cuisine is generously giving each visitor their choice of one entree and one pizza for free. There will even be a sizzling haute couture angle to this event with a fashion show of scantily clad models featuring this summers hottest swimsuits!! Just kidding!! But we will be there with our cute Celiac Chicks t-shirts for all you girls to pick up.
THE FAIR WAS A GREAT FAIR.
VENDORS SHOWED UP FROM NJ BROOKLYN COLORADO
SAMPLES WERE PLEANTY.
MY SEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD A GREAT TIME.
ABOUT 500 PEOPLE SHOWED UP.
THE BEER FROM RAMPOO TASTED GREAT.
I AM NOT A CELIAC MY DAUGHTER IS.
THE FOOD TASTED BETTER THAN GLUTENED FOOD.
HOPEFULLY OTHER GROUPS HAVE A GOOD FAIR LIKE THIS.
YOU CHICKS LOOKED GREAT. THANKS FOR COMING.
The fair was an amazing event that exceeded our wildest expectations.
Attendance was 702!
The event would not have been such a success without the extremely generous contributions by John Muscarello of Comfy Cuisine. He stepped in and offered us his gf dedicated manufacturing facility, contacted the media and his customers and spend many hours working on every detail of the event so that it would go smoothly. His family also contributed a great deal as well.
We had our own terffic volunteers who helped out with every aspect of the event.
We had bloggers like the Celiac Chicks and David Fischer as well as CD experts like Anne Lee and Ann Whelan.
It was a tremendous day and a success for Suffolk County Celiacs. Our mission is to provide support, education and awareness.
We meet monthly (except Aug & Jan) in West Islip, NY.
If anyone would like the list of vendor and contact info feel free to email me at mthorn@aol.com
We had many new companies..including one who drove from Colorado to be there!
Many thanks to everyone who attended and supported the event.

Hi Chicks,
I’m passing this along . . . thought it sounded interesting: A friend says her friend’s daughter has enrolled at the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) in Hyde Park, New York, where she’s majoring in gluten-free cuisine. I Googled the website of this renowned cooking school, but didn’t find anything about the course of study.
