I had a great time and DD is hooked. She was a bit embrassed by her swap item, since she said everyone else was "so professional" I assured her that no one expected a newbie/beginner to have a perfect item.
The meal was great! I was a bit disappointed in the lack of beverages, but that was easily solved by a trip to the vending machine.
I loved that we had plenty of time between speakers to shop and visit.
However, I was in the back row and sometimes had a difficult time hearing the speakers over the people, who decided to shop during the demos 
Kitty and all you other volunteers did a fantastic job organising this in the small amount of time you had!
I hope this becomes an annual event, so I can get all my Dish buddies to come!
Hi Monica!
Sorry that we didn't get to chat at the convention, I hope to make sometime and chat with you guys more next year.
I was waiting for Dishers to stop by my table and say hello, because as promised I have a special little something just for you guys! lol
Your DD did a wonderful job with the swap, they were all very creative!
Hope to see you again next year.
Kitty 
Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed the convention. My granddaughter had a good time too. Looking forward to next year!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mike from Columbus Foods and want to thank him and all the contributing suppliers for such a smash event!
The goody bags were much appreciated and so full of nice things.
Kitty and Kerry - thank you for such a fun and organized event!
And to top it all off, I was able to bring home some supplies from some of my favorite vendors without the shipping charges!!
Sincerely,
Melanie
Hi Melanie,
Mike is such a sweetie! I was so happy to see him and his wife there
Are you ready for next year?? 
Kitty
Am I ready? Sure am! It was so nice to get away from the corporate world and focus on what is my real passion.
Sincerely,
Melanie
