If you have a baby OR are expecting a baby OR you know someone having a baby, AND you live in Ottawa, then the place to be this weekend, September 28th and 29th, 2013 is the Baby Show!
The only category I fit into in the list above is: I live in Ottawa. Even though I am well past the "having babies" stage, I'll still be attending the show. Why? Because I love supporting local businesses, especially those that offer green and healthy living products and services.
There will be several vendors at the show that focus on green and healthy living such as Kardish Health Food Centre, Little Lotus Yoga, Rainbow Foods, terra20 and more. For those of you wanting to attend because you have or are about to have a baby in your life, then the impressive list of vendors and service providers taking part in the show will not disappoint. You will find everything from baby photographers, baby accessories, baby resources/information, birthing services, cloth diaper vendors and SO MUCH MORE. As a bonus, if you are attending with small children, there will be live shows to keep them entertained as well as play and rest areas.
To make things even more fun, on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 between 8pm and 9pm, you'll have a chance to win one of six $25 gift certificates from local eco store terra20 and VIP access passes to the show. Follow @thebabyshow for your chance to win.
I will be at the baby show for a part of the weekend live tweeting and keeping you up to date on all the happenings. Fellow YMC bloggers, Candace Derickx and Joe Boughner will also be in attendance along with a few other Ottawa-based bloggers you may know: @bitofmomsense and @canadiandadblog. We all hope you come down to see what the amazing, hard-working vendors taking part have to offer. In fact, if you buy your show tickets in advance, you will save yourself a few dollars!
