"The show drew nearly 18,000 attendees over the two days (17,627 to be exact) which represents an 18% attendance increase from last year!  I am also proud to say that we hit our goal of raising a minimum of 10,000 pounds of food for the Atlanta Hungry and Homeless through our partnership with both the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Hosea Feed The Hungry.  In total we raised a little over 12,000 pounds of food and hope to only increase these numbers in 2010."
