"Bon Ami loved sponsoring the Mother Earth News Fair in Puyallup! We found that most of the Fairgoers were familiar with Bon Ami and likely had a can of the powder under their sinks. But very few knew about our new line of liquid cleaners. It was great to introduce them to a new generation of an old friend. And it was so much fun to have live baby chicks peeping around!"
- Carolyn Beaham West, VP of Brand Development, Bon Ami
"I wanted to thank you both for all of the work you did on the fair. It was a great event and we generated a ton of buzz in the Seattle/Tacoma area on the new iMiEV. You guys were great and really looked out for Mitsubishi. I just wanted to let you know that I thought the event went really well."

"The MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR was so much more than I could have imagined. I have never experienced any other event that brought together so many experts and technologies focused on respecting the earth, recycling and living sustainably."
- Jim Long, Long Creek Herbs
"Our experience, exposure and placement was just what we needed. I consider Mellissa [Crouch, Seven Springs exhibit sales manager] my personal coach in this whole endeavor, since this is the first time I ever did such an event. We will be looking forward to next year's Fair."

"The MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR was great. I cannot express how wonderful the hospitality and assistance was from the beginning to the end. We were greeted at the entrance and were given all the assistance that we could have asked for. For the first MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR, the attendance was quite amazing. The attendance at the workshops and lectures was also impressive - to be left at standing room only almost every time says quite a lot for what the people are truly looking for. We hope to have a presence at your future endeavors and look forward to speaking with you in regards to them."
- Debra Boyer, My Amish Goods
"The MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR was the most well-run, well-organized event I have ever attended. I especially appreciated the many friendly volunteers on hand to help - AND the low exhibitor cost! Thanks to everyone!"
- Pam Mansell, Hot Pepper Wax
"The MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR was a beautifully located, well-organized and enriching experience for exhibitors as well as for attendees. For an inaugural event, we found our booth was attended by many loyal Stonyfield consumers and equally new consumers to our milk products. The MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR in Pennsylvania was well worth the trip!"
- Monica Organ, Stonyfield
"All in all, it was really a pleasure to work with Ogden Publications and Seven-Star Events. I am grateful and happy to have participated in the first MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR and look forward to many more."
- Sharon Greenspan, Wild Success

Our sales exceeded expectations and we sold 10 hours straight on Saturday and 9 on Sunday. Almost our entire product was gone and our web sales since by advertising through Mother Earth News Fair have jumped from almost $1,000 per month of $3,500 per month. A great ROI and exposure for our web based business.
Mother Earth News Fair provided a perfect venue for me to showcase my business and ideas. Being a self published author and presenting a very new concept to the public I was grateful to have a large group of people whose values matched my own. I will be back again!
Good job by the Mother team we re-connected with lots of friends and made many more.
The Mother Earth News Fair is by far the best event I've done. The audience was receptive and eager to buy. The traffic flow was great and the management went above and beyond for us. I will be back for sure.
The Mother Earth News Fair brings everything "sustainable" under one roof (exhibitors, speakers, and workshops), and the result clearly resonates with people. The enthusiasm is palpable
Mother Earth News Fairs are great venues to market your products to a growing population that honors Mother Earth News's philosophy and our future generations!
The whole experience was awesome! The Fair was very organized and well put together without any chaos that is to be expected while doing a fair. Most importantly, it was nice to be with a group of like minded people who are in it for bettering their environment, not just their pocketbook. Overall, it was an exciting time and an exciting opportunity to be a part of!!
We LOVE the Mother Earth News Fair! It was a great way to get out and meet like-minded people who had never heard of organization. We were so excited about the positive experience we had in Puyallup, WA that we are even considering putting the Pennsylvania event on our calendar for 2012. Thank you Mother Earth News Fair!!!!
We met so many excited, aspiring beekeepers at the Puyallup show - we loved it! Can't wait for the next opportunity.

I have been a long time follower of Mother Earth News and it was such a wonderful experience to have my homespun business be part of the fair. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff encouraging and the crowds friendly. I would highly recommend this venue to those interested in growing there small business.
The show was a great place to network and reach out to a new customer base that is truly interested in natural healthy products for themselves and their pets.
Very well planned and organized. I just wish I could have spent more time as an attendee and less time as a vendor.
A highly positive experience for attendees and exhibitors.
I met some great people and sales. I would do this again. Thanks
The people who attended this fair were very interested in organics and sustainable living - a perfect fit for our company! We got a lot of positive responses and it showed in our profits.
Overall the atmosphere was very upbeat, and provided an audience that we were looking to reach.
The staff at Mother Earth News Fair was extremely helpful and supported us in every way. We have enjoyed their expertise and energy. The true test shows through on all of the smiling faces of the fair goers.
