Vancouver’s need for more Gluten Free Choice
Posted by SMAK | Gluten Free, Healthy Food, Organic Food, Vancouver Dining | No CommentsLast month we had the pleasure of trying to attend the Gluten Free Expo in Vancouver. To our surprise the line up to get in was extremely long. After sometime we were approached by an organizer letting us know that we were going to be unable to get in. The cut off line started with us and certainly went through hundreds if not thousands more behind us. Although we initially felt disappointed we were also intrigued to see how the organizers grossly under estimated the amount of people who were trying to attend. To their defense they had already double the square footage and amount of exhibitors of the event from the previous year. As safe estimation in my opinion. They simply had no way of knowing that almost 20,000 people were going to show up more, more than 4 times their estimate.
