I got back late Monday night from the Louisiana Hot Sauce Festival....eek that's a long drive!
Being my first ever hot sauce festival, I don't have much to base it on, but here goes...
For a first time event, I think Dana did a good job, he came up with a plan B when he realized that it was going to pour rain all weekend, was it perfect? no, but did it work? yes.
The venue was amazingly pretty, however out of the way and allowed for no foot traffic.
Unfortunately neither I nor most of the other vendors sold enough to break even, but I had an amazing amount of fun and got to meet some fabulous people (including some of my heros!), I got to try some awesome sauces and bring a HUGE haul home to try, oh and Feisty Parrot is now available at the Puckerbutt store and about to be in several stores in Canada, which is really exciting...details on that to follow
The haul that I have to try to find cupboard/fridge space for!
