Tallahassee, FL 32301

Eleventh Annual Experience Asia Festival 2015 was held on Saturday, October 03, 2015 from 10 AM till 5 PM at Bloxham and Lewis Parks which are part of the Chain of Parks in downtown Tallahassee. The preparation for the event started almost an year ago in Dec 2014. The first important step was taken when the FSU fall football schedule was announced on Jan 29, 2015. We picked the first week in October that didn't have a FSU home football game, Sat Oct 3, 2015. We had booked the Parks and Recreation's show mobile and the parks themselves for the event. The registration for the event was opened in late May 2015 and we began accepting them in June 2015. We had many Board meeting devoted to the event throughout the year.

The preparation for the event began in earnest on Friday, Oct 2, 2015 when several of us from Board and many volunteers went to Bloxham and Lewis parks and marked out the area for the vendors, exhibitors, and members. This year for the first time we added named placards for the vendors. This will definitely make our lives easier on Saturday morning since vendors can locate their places quickly.

On Saturday morning, I arrived at the parks around 7 AM and started to help everyone setup their stalls.
