Numerous onion companies and members of ancillary industries reaped the rewards of attending and/or exhibiting at last week’s “Magic of Produce” Southern Exposure, hosted by the Southeast Produce Council at Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort in Orlando, FL.
The expo saw a good-sized crowd of more than 2,500, and the event provided not only educational and entertaining sessions and addresses but also ample opportunity to network from March 9-11.
Among the nearly 300 exhibitors were several representing the onion industry, including Utah Onions, Vidalia Onion Committee, Easterday Farms, Shuman Produce, Bland Farms, L&M, Eagle Eye Produce, LG Herndon Jr. Farms, Railex, Wada Farms, Gills Onions, Curry & Co., Keystone Fruit Marketing, Oso Sweet Co., Potandon Produce, Peri and Sons and Sweet Onion Trading Co.
Southern Exposure attendees are traditionally treated to a wide array of activities and events, and this year kept the momentum intact with the Tom Page Golf Classic on March 9 and a keynote address by Duck Commander’s Willie Robertson on March 11.
