We loved meeting so many of you yesterday—and wish we’d had the chance to meet even more of you! 💛
The turnout at the Chicagoland Gluten Free Fall Fest was much larger than any of us anticipated, and halfway through the event, we were informed that entry was closed because of how busy it became. Sadly, that meant many of you weren’t able to come in and see us or any of the other vendors who worked so hard to be there for you.
To those who waited in long lines, made the trip, or left without getting to stop by Sweet Ali’s—we’re so sorry. We know you gave up part of your day to be there, and we understand how disappointing that must have felt.
Sweet Ali’s participated as a vendor and sponsor at the fest this year, and since we care so deeply about your experience, we will be working with the event organizers to support planning for a smoother event next year.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared a kind word, and supported our bakery. Connecting with this gluten-free community means so much to our team, and we wish we’d had more time with you all.
We’d love another chance to meet you! Come visit us at our bakery in Hinsdale, where we’ll be happy to help you find something sweet. Whether you’re a familiar face or visiting for the first time, we hope to see you soon. 💛
