Good Food, Great Bloggers and Good Goodies Galore!

What's a party without a return gift, right? That's what we thought, so this has been very exciting for us as organizers to put together -- the IFBM Goodie Bag! There is a fabulous hamper that each of you will take back. It will hopefully not only remind you of the fun and useful times you will have at the meet, but will also be full of products we have hand picked for you to enjoy.

While this is by no means an extensive list and a few more goodies are still rolling in, we are excited to give you a little peep into the brands and people who have come on board to be part of the goodie bag. 

First and foremost, the goodie bag was made possible by MyPref -- a find-your-food app available on Android and iOS devices, that believes in a food-first restaurant-second approach to seeking out the best option for you to eat what your heart desires, just when that very specific craving strikes! We thank them for partnering us in making this bag not just a carrier or all these goodies, but a useful, reusable shopping bag that you will keep long after the event has come and gone.
