Short Hills, NJ – The Eastern Produce Council (EPC) and the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market (PWPM) announce a May 2015 meeting in Philadelphia. This is the third meeting at the state of the art PWPM facility. The first two meetings drew almost 300 attendees each time.
This year’s theme will be ‘Cinco de Mayo in Philadelphia’ and feature flavors and beverages from Mexico. Sponsors will include Avocados from Mexico, Corona, Dole, John Vena, Inc, West Pak Avocado, Inc., USA Pears, and United Savings Bank of Philadelphia.
The afternoon/evening event will feature guided tours of the facility, a performance by the Ferko String Band, a cocktail reception and a themed dinner that will include a taste of Old Mexico – Philadelphia Style. Our keynote speaker will be announced in April. The EPC will also be presenting a check to Philabundance, the area’s food bank.
Sonny DiCrecchio, President and CEO of the PWPM is excited about the event “We are very happy to have the Eastern Produce Council back to Philadelphia! The last meeting was a huge success and drew over 280 guests and visitors. We are very excited to have this event planned for May 5.”
