For the third consecutive year, Grand Ideas is a Top Chef Sponsor for the BB&T Charleston Food + Wine Festival. Grand Ideas will be producing the 2009 retail merchandise and managing the retail tent during the Festival, which begins Thursday, March 5, 2009, and runs through Sunday, March 8, 2009. This year’s Festival will offer new and unique items, classics with the 2009 poster artwork and vintage merchandise from previous years. They say “it takes a village,” and with the CF+W Festival, that is truly the case. As a result of the many partnerships that have made it what it is today, the Festival continues to grow in popularity and prestige. Angel Postell, Executive Director of the CF+W Festival, adds, “Grand Ideas is an extension of our staff, working hard to meet our marketing and revenue goals. They go above and beyond what they are ever asked and always present creative ideas to enhance the Festival.” For more details about the CF+W Festival, visit www.charlestonfoodandwine.com.
