I see in my Mind's Eye NPEW-09, a glorious display of power and inspiration. Fredrik M. Linder, President of New Hope Natural Media, cuts the ribbon at the gala opening outside the Anaheim Convention Center. THe orchestra that plays the Oscars is out front, sponsored by the top natural food companies in our Passion driven industry. Kids from nearby schools are dressed in Fairy costumes they have made as class projects. The story of our opening ends up in Newsweek magazine that sends reporters to witness the takeover of organic foods as the dominant shopping choice in America. I am the Enchanted Gardener, and as would be natural, I read a poem in this opening ceremony that is appreciated by the Mayor of Orange County who sits next to the Governor of California; they both enjoy the ALL organic luncheon served at the Organic Farming Reseach luncheon later around lunch time.
Miss America and her court, and the San Diego Charger Girls carry delightful arrays of new products in their straw baskets as they tour the aisles of the Fresh Ideas tent; this Photo Op makes it into Playboy. There are special photos of the Charger girls surrounded by Your Enchanted Gardener who serves them bountiful organic Veggies quite suggestive in nature.
The keynote speaker Saturday morning is the top quarterback in the NFL who eats organic beef on gameday, and sugar-fee dessert provided by the top heart and soul natural products companies.
The 5K the second day of our show, draws some of the nations's greatest runners. The winner is a vegetarian who shows up in the headlines of the LA and New York Times the next morning. He says he does quite well on a Vegan raw food diet. The Press is fascinated to hear his story supplied them by the Fresh Ideas Group out of Boulder.
The final hour of the Expo, Kids from a local South Central School in Watts are guided by their teachers for Shopping Spree day at NPEW '09. It is Christmas and an Easter Egg hunt wrapped into one. The Industry generosity is noted by the Press. The kids will never, ever forget this experience in their whole lives.
All the food at the Anaheim Convention Center in 2009 is organic throughout the Expo and makes such a lasting impression on the Catering Staff that now feature large organic offerings throughout the year as a result to exposure that began through NPEW choosing to locate here. Aramark and Sysco and the other suppliers report that their organic offerings are among their significant sales, especially to hospitals. As Leslie fills his herb basket with fresh delights grown within 50 feet of the Anaheim Convention entry, his heart is full. He enjoys that everyone who enters is offered a free package of Heirloom Seeds.
There are so many gardeners among the attendees by 2009, year that these gifts of heirloom seeds highly prized by the buyers. Everyone acknowledged that Heirloom Seeds are truly the New and Old product of the Year.
Leslie knows that these heirloom varieties will go home to create more beauty in everyone's backyard, and this makes him, very, very happy for the Enchanted Garden to be growing in everyone's backyard.
Leslie's Plant Your Dream Seminar is a big hit . Everyone writes out the Seed Dreams they will be harvesting by NPEW-'10.
Some things never change at NPEW. NPEW '09 continues to be supplied with power generated by wind turbines;this serves as an example to all other conventions held at Anaheim.
Club Row, the Saturday night party for the Industry, is a hoot as usual with the dancers from Mountain People Warehouse not having aged a day since the '04 show.
Leslie has the last dance with Karen Raterman, and fun is had by all.
