ALL DAY WITH CI
MORE Recipes for Success
October 5
8:00AM – 3:00PM
Quotes from two stores who attended last year’s CI event:

“…I also wanted to let you know that by taking your classes and events that it helped me work with some of your new items that I wasn't sure about how to use.  It was just nice to be in a smaller event and not totally overwhelmed and have some time to ask questions to the vendor.”

“…being able to feel all of this stuff and play with it and make stuff with it and see how the designers use their imaginations with the products was just mind blowing!!!  I can't wait to have these classes at MY STORE!”
