Peak of the Valley is two events in one — a trade show and a food expo. The trade show will be an op- portunity for just 40 food produc- ers to have a booth and meet buy- ers from restaurants, hotels, gro- cery stores and more and a series of seven workshops open to those wanting to learn from experts, like Harv Singh, local forager for Whole Foods Market, on how to get started and be successful in this dynamic industry. "The goal is to bring together small and medium sized food producers throughout the region to expand opportunities by con- necting them to buyers and dis- tributors," said Kathy Garcia, the event coordinator. "We hope to showcase the volume and vari- ety of quality food products; and link those interested in bringing a product to market with work- shops presented by knowledge- able industry experts to help them reach their full potential." The food expo will feature more than 40 booths. Buyers are invited from hotels, grocery stores, restaurants and higher ed- ucation. A portion of the day will be exclusive time for just buyers to connect with producers. The expo will be open to the public 2-5 p.m. and items may be sampled and purchased. There is no cost for the public to attend. Seven 45-minute food indus- try seminars will take place Nov. 12 and 13 focused on three tar- get audiences: Start ups such as entrepreneurs with a special rec- ipe they want to market, chefs and restaurants looking to sell signature products and growers looking to create and sell value added products; emerging and es- tablished food companies seeking next level growth such as getting into grocery stores or club stores, establishing a broker network, working with distributors, do- ing private label, learning how PEAK OF THE VALLEY FoodexpocomingtoCorning The Historic Downtown Red Bluff Art Walk is set for Fri- day and Saturday, Nov. 7-8, at various locations throughout downtown to showcase works by local artists and host recep- tions in their honor so the pub- lic may meet and talk with the featured artists.
