There were also health and wellness vendors giving out “free” information and products.

The audience was very engaged with the presenters as they lectured on the various subjects, asking questions and participating in the discussions. The presenters also brought healthy foods to sample, showed informative power point presentations and videos and gave “heart-felt” personal testimonies that seemed to “move” the attendees. Tracy Gillum-Willis commented about this being an “informative event” and “...great stuff!”, Jamaica Jacobson said, "I had a great time. I loved all the free info and recipe books. I'm going to encourage my friends to come with me next time." while Tammie West-Ramsom stated, “I’m a winner, because I am here soaking in all this free education.”
