HEAT TWO

In case you missed it, please see additional photos below from last week's

successful HEAT Tradeshow including some of the positive comments from the

Post-HEAT Tradeshow Survey:

"We're not sure if it's because you see vacuum cleaners, chef hats and key cards everyday or if there was just an amazing amount of talent on the tradeshow floor last week. Either way, we want to thank you for stopping in for our "drawing" and taking the

extra time to talk a little biz. Special thanks to the CFHLA team for making sure our first ever HEAT was a huge success! We look

forward to seeing you all around town and at many future events." - Stephanie, Magdalena, John, Mike, Laura and Carol of
