It’s surprising, even to us, that we will have a booth at the SCA Expo in Portland April 21-23. But hmm… how shall we do this thing …
There’s a few big coffee shows around the world and SCASCA is the newly formed global coffee association for Specialty Coffee. The former organization called SCAA was incorporated into the new group. The main commercial coffee group is... Expo (Specialty CoffeeSpecialty coffee was a term devised to mean higher levels of green coffee quality than average "industrial coffee" or "commercial coffee". At this point, the term is of... Association) in the US is one of the largest. We go nearly every year to meet suppliers, exporters, and some of the coffee farmers who make the trek. But having a booth? Nah, we don’t really have anything to offer or need to draw any attention to ourselves.
But … it always seemed like it would be fun just to show up and do our own thing, even if it makes no business sense. In fact, it seemed fun because it makes no business sense. It could just be the spot we meet suppliers and sources vs. trying to find a quiet spot in a corner somewhere. We can make our own corner, I mean booth.
So if for some strange reason you show up in Portland April 21-23 at the Portland convention center, please come to Booth 1055 where you will find Sweet Maria’s making arts and crafts basically. Make something! It will be hard to miss our little spot because it’s going to be …er … different.
Sweet Maria’s Arts & Crafts Expo!
Directions: Locate Lotus Energy Drinks, near Lamose and Poursteady. Head north then West at NaePac near Caotex, veer north then jog west, or east depending on which way you are coming, and look for a miniscule 10×10 postage stamp with what might at first look like kindergarten finger painting, and that’s probably us.
