The 2010 Governor's Conference on Tourism was recently held in Pierre, and I was thrilled to be one of 18 vendors selected to have a booth exhibiting "Made in South Dakota" products during the conference. This was my first time showing my photography, and it was a lot of fun and a great experience!
I was fortunate to find myself next to Trina and Charlie Wheeler of Wheeler Farms Candy Company, who are seasoned exhibitors at the Governor's Conference, and Trina graciously shared many helpful marketing tips and ideas, as well as some delicious pecan butter brittle! Next time you are in Sturgis, I highly recommend stopping at their store and sampling their delicious candy!
I came home from the Conference full of ideas for expanding my market. Now, if I could just fit a few more hours into the day....!!!
