				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our purchasing department took a trip to Anaheim California to talk to current vendors and look at what&#8217;s new in the natural product industry. We met some great people and saw new products.</p>
<p><a href="http://azurestandardblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Expo-West-2013.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2096" alt="Expo West 2013" src="http://azurestandardblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Expo-West-2013-1024x848.jpg" width="1024" height="848" /></a></p>
<p>It was great to put names to faces and meet so many people that have worked so hard to bring us amazing products.</p>
<p><a href="http://azurestandardblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/So-many-vendors-2013-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2099" alt="So many vendors 2013 1" src="http://azurestandardblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/So-many-vendors-2013-1-1024x779.jpg" width="1024" height="779" /></a></p>
<p>We have so many vendors I am sure I might have missed a few&#8230; Can you find your favorite?</p>
<p><a href="http://azurestandardblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Collage-with-Lakewood-2013-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2102" alt="Collage with Lakewood 2013 2" src="http://azurestandardblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Collage-with-Lakewood-2013-2-1024x766.jpg" width="1024" height="766" /></a></p>
<p>New vendors and old there were so many new products it was hard to keep track. There is a new vendor in the image above. You won&#8217;t see their products until our July/Aug sales flyer. Can you guess which one it might be?</p>
