Albany Gluten-Free Food Fest!

Last night I attended the annual Gluten-Free Food Festival hosted by the Albany Celiac Support Group. There were hundreds of gluten-free folks in attendance! They enjoyed lots of samples from local and national gluten-free vendors. Here are a few photos from the event. (Links to gluten-free businesses are provided!)

Thanks to all the volunteers and businesses that made this event so fantastic! I can't wait for next year!

  3. I just found your blog and realize that you live in the cap region too. I had no idea there was a local group of celiacs. I need to look into that!
