Join us February 11th, 2012 to view the latest in local products & services for mom, dad, baby & family. From new brands & businesses that have recently launched, to the latest mompreneur inventions & gadgets, to the all-time favorites.

Shop, browse and interact with over 100 exhibitors to learn what products and services are available for you and your family. Some categories that may be available include: books, jewelry, make-up, cloth diapers, kitchen items, baby items, children's toys, scrap booking, pampering, health, weight loss, pregnancy & birth, eco-friendly, clothing, services and much more! Register for and listen to over 8 different speakers sharing interesting information for families.
The speakers have been cancelled for our Feb 11th show. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Moms (and now even DADS) can register, attend & receive amazing show specials, receive a show bag (@ 9:30am) , have a chance to win one of many door prizes throughout the day.

Note: Due to the lack of interest in adding tables "just for dad" we have decided to remove the hold on the section of tables 86-95. We will do our best to keep tables "just for dad" to one area. Sorry for the inconvenience.


All family members are welcome!
