Celiac Disease Foundation Solano County Celiacs, North Bay Celiacs,
and Sacramento Celiacs "A Gluten-Free Fair" was a HUGE success!!

We anticipated 250-300 guests and ended up with over 600 guests! Imagine our
surprise when the line went down the block!
The best story came from a gentleman named Ian who had been diagnosed with
Celiac over twenty years ago. He had struggled to
find decent foods and was shocked when he found Iamori's raviolis at the
fair. It was the first ravioli he had eaten in 20 years! It's
stories like Ian's that definitely make all the hard work completely worth
it.

The Inn and Spa at Benicia Bay was kind enough to donate their space
for our multitude of wonderful gluten-free vendors.

Bakery On Main
