I spy Enjoy Life...
at FAAN's Walk for Food Allergy: Moving Towards a Cure - Nationwide
Sunday, December 2nd marked the final FAAN walk for 2007. As a national sponsor, Enjoy Life has attended twenty walks nationwide. We’ve met allergen-free folks near and far, bumping into many Enjoy Life fans! In fact, we meet a little fellow who packed his very own Snickerdoodles as his safe snack for the walk! Good thinking ; )
A great time was had by all. We gave away kazoos, which kids of all ages enjoyed, as well as scrumptious samples of our trail mix, snack bars and cookies. We also passed out Perky’s nut-and gluten-free Perky O’s. All yum! All smiles! A big thanks to those of you who stopped by to say “hi” and to those of you who wanted to learn more about our products.
at Whole Foods Market Flavor Fest - Chicago, IL
Despite a really wet and muddy start, a great time was had by all at Flavor Fest. The event was held at Jonquil Park on August 24th and 25th in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood.
The Enjoy Life crew was on hand to give out samples of our cookies and snack bars to the hungry crowd. The response was so good that we actually ran out of samples on Sunday afternoon! In all, we handed out 500 kazoos, 8,000 free samples and 5,000 coupons...whew, we were sure tired after that.
Many Chicago-based Enjoy Life fans visited our booth to say "hey" and ask "what's new". We love meeting our loyal consumers and appreciate you taking the time to stop by!
at Kane County Cougar's Peanut-Free Night: Part II - Geneva, IL
The weather cooperated this time and Enjoy Life joined in the festivities at peanut-free night at the ballpark. A great crowd was there to cheer the Cougars on to victory and the Enjoy Life team handed out hundreds of samples and coupons to fans.
Contact your local minor league team to ask them to consider doing a peanut-free night. Cougar's management responded to Todd Leiter-Weintraub and his son Ethan's request to ban peanuts from the park for peanut-allergic fans. Many thanks to the Cougars for hosting a great peanut-free ball game that everyone could enjoy!
at Kane County Cougar's Peanut-Free Night: Part I - Geneva, IL
Finally, a baseball game without the peanuts! Enjoy Life was at the ballpark to hand out peanut-free snacks but unfortunatley the game was cancelled due to thunderstorms.
Enjoy Life fans: Left, Ethan (right) and his brother gobble down a caramel apple snack bar. Ethan has one every morning for breakfast! Right, a super smiley Snickerdoodle fan club.
at Atlanta's Celiac Food Fair- Atlanta, GA
We introduced all of our yummy treats, including our two newest cookies, and just so happened to make lots of new friends. Folks were so excited by our smile-good foods that they ate their way through our samples. Yea!
Jessica Zombek helped introduce our products.
at Natural Products EXPO West - Anaheim, CA
We introduced our two newest, super scrumptious cookies to natural food retailers from across the U.S. in early March. Our Happy Apple™ and Lively Lemon cookies are bursting with flavor and are sure to become a new favorite. We hosted a fun "cookie time" break during the show complete with loads of cookies, funny hats and our biggest fan, Cookie Monster. Look for them on store shelves soon!
