touted as the 2008 Celebrity Food Show.\u00a0 It was heavily promoted and\u00a0looked enticing, so I went with a friend.\u00a0 We didn&#8217;t stay for the Ace of Cakes Show because the food exhibit area was way too small.\u00a0 We had reservations to see Duff and the rest of the gang at\u00a0the 4:30 show, but left before it started.\u00a0 The picture is from a peak\u00a0at the 2:30 show.<\/p>\n<p>We had arrived at 1:30 to first experience the Cake Making Competition and Food\u00a0Exhibits, but there wasn&#8217;t enough to see to fill the time.\u00a0 Overall we weren&#8217;t\u00a0impressed.\u00a0 It seemed more\u00a0like a glorified swap\u00a0meet or Costco&#8217;s on a Saturday, plus a fair number\u00a0of\u00a0vendors weren&#8217;t fabulous or even set up.\u00a0 And\u00a0we\u00a0saw way too many\u00a0Salsa booths.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All didn&#8217;t seem worth the $25.00 entry fee &#8212; And no one even asked for our tickets.\u00a0 People were just wandering in and out of all the open doors.\u00a0 The pictures below are of a few items we sampled or purchased, and a couple displays that caught our eyes.\u00a0 The Cake Making Competition pictures will be featured in a\u00a0future post, since\u00a0it was the best part of the event.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"food-show-flowers-yard-house-014.JPG\"
