This year MABA is
planning another exiting Expo on Friday and Saturday, April 11th
and 12th, 2008, at the Host Resort in Lancaster, PA. This
expo should be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about all types
of barbecuing and outdoor cooking themes. Whether you’re a backyard novice,
a seasoned competitor, a campfire cooker, or an outdoor kitchen upscale
griller, you’ll find something of interest with these vendors, their
demonstrations, and the variety of seminars.
Both days will feature
indoor seminars and vendors as well as outdoor vendors and demonstrations.
Vendors will be very willing to discuss with you their latest products and
wares. Learn new techniques from the product developers. Share techniques
with fellow cookers. The seminars on Friday are themed more for the
experienced cook, while Saturdays seminars are geared more for the back yard
fanatic. Both days will feature outdoor demonstrations of vendors grills
and cookers. Saturday will feature outdoor demonstrations on upscale
grilling, campfire cooking, barbecuing and other forms of grilling from
manufacturers, vendors and restaurant professionals.
