Quick Cultivate Recap!

This year's Chipotle Cultivate Festival was another hit - and the busiest year the Festival has seen by far! So many good peeps made their way to Lincoln Park last Saturday to celebrate great food, beer, music & ideas, making for one hell of a fun day.  I spent most of my Saturday with the Tiny But Mighty Popcorn team in the Artisans.  We began bright & early at 8:00 am for set-up, smiles on our faces & iced coffees in hand.  I worked until late afternoon, managing to cut out a few hours before Festival's end to meet some friends over in the craft beer tent.  It was around that time I noticed Artisans and Brewers selling out of goodies & beer one after another, all while people socialized under the sunshine.  Well, Cultivate - consider yourself a smashing success!  Getting an estimated 36,000 people to gather together, support local businesses & learn about the food they consume every day - that is no easy fete - but you somehow made it look easy. Cultivate - I salute you.

Cheers to another fantastic year!
