INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – Indianapolis Fruit Company hosted its 28th Annual Golf Outing and Tradeshow on July 20th & 21st. The yearly event brings together the wholesale distributor’s valued retail partners & vendors. The 2015 Golf Outing & Tradeshow was one of Indianapolis Fruit Company’s most actively attended events in company history with over 600 total guests enjoying the 2-day event.
The Tradeshow took place at The Crane Bay Event Center in Downtown Indianapolis. At the entrance of the event center, guests were greeted with a red carpet leading to a custom Spiderman and Avengers-themed NASCAR, provided and sponsored by Sage Fruit. The inside of the event center was beautifully decorated with all colors of fresh produce and assortments of flower bouquets.
Indianapolis Fruit Company’s vendor partners displayed and sampled their products during the showcase, and relished the opportunity to interact with retailers. Continuing to give back to the community, all fresh produce and products displayed during the event were donated to the Little Sisters Foundation. Anthony Bruce from Melissa’s Produce stated, “We look forward to the show every year! Great occasion for face-to-face interaction and best place to show-and-tell new items or demonstrate other opportunities for the stores. Really a fun and relaxed atmosphere with all the right people at one place!
“The Indy Fruit food show is one of our company’s favorite events each year. It brings together vendors, retailers, and the Indy Fruit team and provides a forum for us to develop our partnerships and grow sales together. The atmosphere over the couple of days is professional, but relaxed so it really provides an ideal environment to collaborate.” – Kevin Steiner from Sage Fruit
