Not sure if the Holistic Living Expo
also referred to as HLE is changing its name to New World Expo but both banners
could be seen this weekend in Fresno California. No longer at the Ramada Inn on
HWY41 and Shaw its new home became the Piccadilly Inn at Shaw and Van Ness in
Fresno Ca. What prompted the move?
Ramada raised it fees and to avoid passing them on to exhibitors a new location
was booked.
The change in venue was evident from the moment you walked
in to the much smaller space. Many familiar faces did not come to this HLE
event leaving a huge unbalance in readers to vendor with the majority to the
latter. Some of the participants included Clairvoyant Jackie Harris
who provided readings, Reiki, and also had a full both of incense and burners
and other wonderful product for sale.
Darren Smith of Komong Dragon
showed up with his impressive collection of stone work from Asia, and as always
our beloved Sandy Deveau with her Auric
Photos.
There was a real lack of traffic at the event. It seems not
enough time was spent advertising not only the event but also the change in
venue; many may have shown up at the Ramada only to be disappointed. The
lecture room was across from the HLE venue and was much better than the one at
the Ramada. The venue itself was more polished and newer than Ramada’s old and
wore conference rooms, and in that there was a bit of a win.
One thing that many of us have found to be interesting is
the lack of local metaphysical representatives from the Fresno County, except
for Mrs. Harris you will be hard pressed to find local vendors or practitioners
at any Fresno HLE event. Price might be
an issue but there has to be more going on than that I would think. In Fresno
it seems that the metaphysical community is not linked together and for the
most part tries to keep what they do from the main stream.
The next Fresno New World Expo (Holistic
Living Expo) will be November 4, 2012.
We hope to see you there.
