The 2013 Halperns' Show!
Once again, we were delighted to participate in this year's Halperns' Show, held at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. The show drew 40% higher attendance over last year with nearly 80 vendors on hand to share their tasty foods.
The venue was stunning.
And attendance was impressive.
And the food... did we mention the food? Hobbs' displayed an array of samplings... Bacon, Tasso Ham, Bresaola, Capocolla, Soppressata, & Proscuitto.
And our own Kim Huynh was on hand, adding his own personal touch, for which he is so well known.
Did we mention bacon?

Grand Time at Halperns' Show in Atlanta
It was a good day!
Last Tuesday, we participated in the 2nd Annual Halperns' Food, Wine and Spirits Show in Atlanta. With wall-to-wall food selections and over 1,000 in attendance, we proudly presented a showing of Hobbs' proscuitto, bressoala, soppressata, and a variety of salami.
We took command of the set-up... and began with preparing the booth area. Shown here: Richard Higgenbottom, President of Hobbs', and Kim Huyhn, Operations Manager.
Then, course, lots of food preparation.
And finally, almost ready for the doors to open.
Here, the beautiful setting in the Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest. And with a full hall of chefs, restaurantuers and over 52 vendors.... it was a great day.
