Vermont City Marathon

 Sport & Fitness Expo 2016

Friday & Saturday, May 27-28, 2016

Got up early Friday morning and drove down to the Cabot plant and I arrived at fulfillment just as everyone was pulling in to go to work, went in and gathered all the things they had ready for me, and off I went to Burlington.

As I was passing through some villages I noticed they had put their flags up for Memorial Day honoring all those who have served the country, of course many have served, but many gave their last full measure of devotion to serve this country to protect our Freedom.

 Thinking about that inspired me to stop and pick up some flags to honor them on our display at the Sheraton Inn in Burlington.

Stowe Village pictured below flags flying.

I hate being late and rushing around, so as usual I was there too early, however one young lady was there even before I was. We were both set up and ready to go in plenty of time.

Basic Set up with flags flying, cows flying, who said they can't fly ?
Oh wait! that was Pigs, never mind.

Probably every Cheese lover on the planet knows and loves Cabot's Seriously Sharp
and I had a  ton of responses about that all day, but I also had an astonishing amount of questions and comments about the Whey Protein Powder which I had featured in the center of the Table.

So using the "powder" of suggestion I placed the coupons in front of the Whey Protein to draw even more attention to it.
Get Whey more muscle & Whey less fat..

There were many different vendors in our aisle which was a #1 spot since it was right where the runners had to come to pick up their packets, so I was getting a lot of attention and a few of the other vendors made comments about my crowd all day.

It was a continuous assault all day long both Friday and Saturday.

From one end of the Aisle to the other.

By 4:30 Saturday I was out of cheese so I rearranged my Tablet and passed out Whey Brochures and promoted the benefits of the The Protein Powder to all that stopped by.

The Vermont department of tourism was there promoting the State as a great vacation destination, and they had a couple of guys there which I had worked with before on other events so it was sorta like old home week.

There was a fellow from Cape Cod Marathon there soliciting runners to show up at the event on the Cape which sounded pretty nice, it is a tad smaller and a bit cheaper than this one and he suggested Cabot show up for it.
I thought it might be a good one to do the Whey Powder but do Smoothies along with, or instead of, cheese.

The L L Bean Boot Buggy was there as usual too.

I did not get to look around very much it was really busy but there were many vendors there and crowds at the table continuously.

I received nothing but positive comments all day, hundreds upon hundreds of people talking about the Seriously Sharp cheese and many people bombarded me with
Whey Protein Powder comments and questions..

Probably should have been geared up to do Smoothies for the day, or maybe not, because I might still be there cranking em out..:-)

I was not running in the race but by Saturday Night,  Stealing a line from an old 1977 song by Jackson Browne,
~I Was~
"Running on Empty"
In more ways than one.
:-)

God Bless all those who fought and died for this country
protecting all our rights. R.I.P.
