I had the privilege of participating in the “A Big Baby Shower” inJamaica. It was perhaps the most impressive non medical expothat I have attended. It was extremely well attended. Theparticipants were left wanting more which is a very good thing.That in itself speaks to the need of Jamaica to have more ofthese same events. I believe that it could have gone on for theentire weekend and it would have still been very well attendedand received. The vendors were full of pertinent information andevery interaction that I witnessed between vendor andparticipant was satisfying and informative. The entire eventdisplayed the class and innovation of B3 magazine.

Bravo B3! A job well done.
