It's really for people in the food industry - distributors, restaurants, etc. They can see what products are out there and try them and even order wholesale. But it's really fun for anyone to see and taste!

How did you miss the best booth there? Kosher.com had a shopping cart there that was two stories tall filled with groceries. You could see from every aisle. Every TV,radio station and blogger was busy at their booth.

I have a difficult time understanding why this trade show would be classified as a Kiddush Hashem- just because the products are kosher and the vendors are yidden does not mean that it is inherently a Kiddush Hashem-
I welcome other opinions!

Well you said it all, where ever there's someone in need, riverdale is there with a helping hand.
And its very easy to forget - when the event is about food - about these details that without them it wouldn't be a success, details such as riverdale being there....
Kol hakavod VIN for covering that

Unfortunately,what starts out as the world's biggest kiddush,turns out to be the world's biggest chilul hashem at about 4:00 the last day of the show when everyone starts grabbing food from the tables and displays and stuffing it in their bags and grabbing meats,chickens and whatever else they can get their hands on,even if the exhibitors do not permit samples to be taken.The guards watch this circus and cannot understand the religious people. They can barely leave with all the goodies.Why is the food so important to them? Maybe someone can explain.

(Re: 10) River covers A,B,'C' and so on! River is not just an Askon, but a true Mitzvha man! He has helped hundreds of special childrens and brings happiness to the needy! He 'Coordinates' well and is what other Hatzulah Units like!

River Dale aka Q-73 former Q-201 is from the best Paramedics Hatzolah has today. He takes a ton of calls and is very kind and caring to his paitents. Keep up the good work River Dale and may you have all the berochos you want and need . And by the way nice setup on Car 73.

Oh, come on. Stop it with the inferiority complex. At the end of every show exhibitors give away stuff that they don't want to shlep back with them, and others take advantage. I was there at the closing bell today, and didn't see any extraordinary chappenish, just the normal and expected level. And I didn't see anyone leaving with more than they could comfortably carry. In any case there was a big sign that nobody would be allowed to leave with more than one bag of samples, and the excess would be donated to charity.

#28 is right - as if the companies wanna shlep home all the peanut butter, ice cream and mentos and spring water.... Lol.
Of course we're not talking about stealing expensive wines, or computer systems, or shoe shine stations....
