people's pick award 2010
Well, I don’t have anything to add… except that Toronto’s Good Food Festivals is one of the  biggest consumer’s fare in this city, with 29,000 visitors.

Hi Melanie,

Thank you for being a part of the 18th annual Good Food Festival & Market. We were so pleased to have you at the show as your products are fantastic! Everyone was raving about how great the sauces were so I was quite disappointed when I came to buy some for myself and you were already sold out of two of the products by Saturday! Please let me know where I can buy them. This must be due to the line-ups you had at your booth all weekend long! Although you did not choose to participate in our People’s Pick contest I am happy to report that your products keep appearing on the ballots written in by hand by consumers! I have already seen several hundred votes for your Basil Pesto Sauce as Favorite Product Overall! This is unheard of! I have never seen a product that was not on the ballot win or even come close for that matter but this may be the exception. It will take a few more days to completely count and record all of the ballots but I will let you know. Good Luck.

Thank you again for your participation and I hope to see you next year.

Regards,

Christine Wong
Assistant Festival Manager
