best that the island has to offer. Vendors were able to expose the attendees

an experience that was unforgettable," said Sean Johnson II, event founder of Move Marketing. "Food enthusiasts both near and
far came out to wine and dine with over 24 vendors.
We anticipated a great turnout, however, we got much greater."

"It's a new day in The Bahamas, as small and/or local as your business may seem, we're playing on the world stage," said Johnson. "While traveling I've had complete strangers express their love of the CULTURE, FOOD, HOSPITALITY of The Bahamas, and now tools like Trip Advisor, Yelp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter can make your business more accessible now than ever."
