Our weekend was quite exhausting: we signed up to participate in Windy City Wine Festival. It is a 2-day long event in Grand park area in downtown Chicago. We started our Friday at 5:45 am and shortly thereafter we were in our new production facility making caramels (Chai latte and Orange/Honey). After the successfull wrapping we moved on to downtown Chicago to set up our tent. This was our 1st big event and we debuted our new banners with the picture of the caramels having a " meeting". it was displayed on three split banners with just a picture and the website info in small font. People were very intrigued and stopped by our booth just to see what this was all about :)
Overall event was a big success: we sold a lot of caramels and spread the good word about other places that sell them. here is the picture of us at the end of Friday: clearly we're about to collapse!
P.S: apparently Dhruba and I were featured on Fox News on Saturday, 9/15. I didn't even know so could not TIVO it. I also don't know exactly what was featured: is there anyone out there who's seen it? Please let me know: drop me a line at katie@dasfoods.com
