I was going to purchase tickets and when I went to the checkout section it asked if I had a code for a discount. Does anyone know what that code is? If you buy the tickets online they are $12/each. If I can get them cheaper I would be even happier.

Hi Everyone!! I just saw this in the paper the last few weeks and was thinking about going since I live 10 minutes away. I wasn't sure though if it would be worth $15 tickets, but it sounds like they will definately have a ton of coupons, free food, samples and it should be worth the ticket price right? As Dyeink just mentioned does anyone have a further discount code?

No codes - but Giant Eagle had discount tickets/coupons at the customer service desk - I think it was save $3 or $4 off admission. HTH!

So, what time is everyone going on Saturday? I'm bring DS#3 so an all day event probably won't be possible, but I'm thinking of going later after noon.

For me it will likely be after lunch. I am thinking 1:00

I'm sooooo jealous! I wanted to go so badly, but I have a wedding to go to on Saturday!

There has been something similar to this in DC in past years, but it's been a long time since I last went (maybe 13 years ago? I was in my early 20s and worked in retail, so it was approx then). Not sure if they do it anymore.

I usually go early in the morning - they had the cutest key chains that were wire whisks last year (they went fast). I just went around and around and kept getting the same samples and q's over and over again LOL.

I'm hoping the Kitchen Basics people are there again. They had the little boxes of broth for .50 ea (they sell for $1.99 at the grocery store). I use one of the vegetable broth in all of my soups.

They also have hourly contests and Duff from Ace of Cakes will be there (that should be interesting) and Sherree (sp) from The View will be there (I like her LOL). There will also be a lot of others there doing demos (the fast omelette guy is supposed to be there too).

There should be enough of us there that you can break off into little groups to go around (it's really not that big) and then switch off to another group so that everyone gets to mingle.

Oh, they also have free wine tasting (I can't stand wine).

I think I have a few extra of the discount q's for the event if someone needs them - I can mail them out or give them to you at the expo. Just checked - I have 1 extra - those things are thick (they are a hot pink too if you want to look around your CS desk)

If anyone is going by themselves and wants my cell phone # to call when they get there, just pm me - otherwise, look for the older blonde stealing extra q's LOL

I think my mom and I are coming up from the Altoon area (about a 2 hr trip) and maybe my SIL. There are a couple of stores my mom loves to shop at around there and I figured we could both get what we want. She had a stroke in July (and is doing excellent thank you!!!) so now I realize how important it is to keep doing stuff together (we are SUPER close). We will be the older and younger blondes that look a LOT alike! I'll use my Qs and whatever Qs she gets! LOL
