CELIAC SPRUE ASSOCIATION VENDOR FAIR 

Incredible, Edible, Gluten Free Food Fair!

The Denver Metro Chapter of CSA/ USA is sponsoring a gluten- free vendor fair which will spotlight many of the gluten-free options available to individuals with Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance.  The Fair will be held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, 15200 West 6th Avenue, Golden, CO from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Sunday, August 29th.  

Celiac disease is the most common genetic, autoimmune disease, affecting approximately 1 in 100 people.  It is caused by ingestion of gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and most oats), and is characterized by damage to the digestive system, problems with absorbing nutrients and can affect multiple systems of the body. Gluten Intolerance is thought to affect far more people, causing similar digestive symptoms and other health problems.

The Fair will feature local and national vendors who serve the gluten-free market. Vendors provide samples, showcase their newest product lines, demonstrate cooking techniques, give out coupons and sell cookbooks.   Last year, there were over 700 participants and 50 vendors.  This year over 70 vendors are expected.

Mark your calendar to attend this fun, free and informative event.
