Local foodies: Your dreams have come true

This is so cool.
FamilyFarmed.org is holding their fourth expo next month in Chicago.
It's three days focused on local and organic foods. Sure, there's business-to-business stuff (ie programs to match local farmers to companies buying food), but there's plenty for your and me too.
There are 120 exhibitors to get info and buy from and all three days feature presentations that sound like a lot of fun, like "Organic Eating on a Dime," "Locavore Holiday Planning" and "Mixing Up Local Flavors."
This isn't a bunch of hippies telling you to eat dandelions. Presenters include folks from major companies looking to green up, reps from shops that offer organics, local brewers and a lot more.
Seriously, this looks like so much fun. It's a like a Trekkie convention, if you're a Trekkie (or Trekker, whatever they call themselves now.) This is three days about the stuff we're into.
Here's the need to know: It's Nov. 21-23 at the Chicago Cultural Center. Tickets are available (cheaper) online or you can get them at the door, but some stuff is selling out. Get 'em now to be safe. You can pick what you want to go to and buy tickets for just that. For instance, pay $15 bucks in advance to attend a single day. That's less than a ticket to a movie and burned nonlocal popcorn that's probably genetically engineered.
You're not going to kill yourself with burning up gas to get there, and the event prices aren't going to finish off your wallet either.
I could tell you about the whole schedule and everything, but I'd probably be sobbing and screaming, "I wanna go" to my husband by the end of it.
