2011 ABC Kids Expo Partners with Centerplate to Provide Dining Choices for Attendees

Attendees at the 9th Annual ABC Kids Expo^® will have no excuse to go hungry thanks to Centerplate, one of the largest hospitality companies in the world and the official concessions contractor for the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.

Doug Simmonds, Centerplate’s general manager, promises that there will be plenty of “food for every budget — from $2.50 hot dogs at concession stands to a $14.95 all-you-can-eat buffet on the mezzanine level with table cloths and china.”

Many of Centerplate’s Signature Menu favorites, like sausage and pepper grill plates, create-your-own pasta dishes and “Skinny Skins” American-style nachos, will be available in kiosks and concession stands throughout the convention center.

In addition, a wide variety of items from Papa Murphy’s Pizza, Kentucky Pork Producers, Kentucky Cattleman’s Association, Kentucky Fish Farmers and others will be available. A grab-and-go Kosher food stand will be available in the south wing.

ABC Kids Expo, the largest juvenile products industry show of its kind in the world, will run September 23 - 26, 2011. Qualified attendees and media can still register through the ABC Hotline or online at www.theabcshow.com.
