Toni passed along an email from Denise at the Canton Raisin Rack:
Hi everyone, Just to let you know that Raisin Rack will be having GF samplings the 2nd Sat of the month begining July 14th thru Sep 8th. Different vendors each mo. It will give you the opportunity to see the new expansion & remodel, a whopping 8000 sq. ft.! Hope to see you.
Thanks, Angie, for researching the upcoming Akron Rib Festival, July 2-4. Just thought I would share some info I found when emailing some of the vendors of the Akron Rib Festival for next week. I emailed all of the attendees that I could locate and only three got back to me. Carolina Rib King states their sauce is gluten free. BG’s Main Event states their sauce contains gluten. Big Boned BBQ had a great email back “Thanks for taking the time to contact us. All of our sauce and rub is gluten free and we would love to have all of you (members of the support group) visit our booth. Please come by and introduce yourself to me so I can thank you in person. See you in Akron. Pat Nelson Big Boned BBQ”
Sue and Giordana hosted an event for kids and parents this past Sunday, April 22.
Sue reports about the fun:
Giordana had made a bunch of earth day themed games: memory games, word search, etc. These were great for the kids to complete while we waited for the rest of the families to arrive. She also made edible ‘dirt’ for the kids to enjoy.
We started out the meeting with a little lesson on recycling and how long it takes for different products to biodegrade (plastic takes 500 years!). We had the kids decorate sugar cookies to look like Earth and then they made planters out of egg shells.
