Nov. 27, 2009 – The Toronto Convention Center was filled with
enthusiasm on October 23-25 as women of all ages filed in for the 2009
National Women’s Show. The show was a fantastic outing, offering tips
on fashion, beauty, wellness, food and fitness, as well as travel,
leisure and business advice.
Floral
designer Albert Graves’ daily presentations got women out of their
seats! Women were so eager for the chance to win one of his floral
masterpieces that they found themselves screaming, cheering and even
dancing on their chairs. Albert, a strong supporter of the pickOntario
campaign, used all locally grown flowers in his arrangements.
For
the second year in a row, pickOntario participated in this exciting
show. This year, pickOntario handed out over 1,000 flowers to lucky
women while showcasing the many different varieties of flowers grown
locally in Ontario.
PickOntario found that over 30 per cent of the women polled
had already heard of pickOntario. An outstanding 93 per cent of women said
they prefer to buy local over imported flowers.
